Covid-19- symptoms | risk of being affected | protect ourselves

What are the symptoms of The Covid-19?

This virus affects the lungs

Symptoms:-

Two main symptoms are fever and persistent dry cough.

Persistent coughing means that you cough for about an hour or you have had at least three cough stoic stoic stoics in 24 hours, meaning that your cough is more than normal.

This can also result in a form of breathing, often called chest cramping, difficulty breathing, or knee.

In addition, the victims have also been diagnosed with throat problems, headaches and symptoms, while some patients have complained of taste and swelling.

Usually it takes five days for a patient to show symptoms, but in some people it is late.

According to the World Health Organization, the duration of the infection is 14 days from the time the symptoms appear, but some researchers say it can be up to 24 days.

According to a recent study published in the British Medical Journal, 78 percent of people affected by Co-19did not have clear symptoms, meaning they were assmitmatic patients in medical terms.

The results of this study are consistent with the results of the research conducted in the Italian village that became a major centre of the Coruna's disease. There were 50 to 75 percent of patients who did not show any symptoms, but they were a major source of its spread.

Another study conducted in Iceland found that 50% of those who were confirmed to Have Co-19 had no sign of it.

According to the results of the world health examination of 56,000 patients:

80 percent of the symptoms were found to be minor symptoms such as fever and cough, while some were also pneumonia.

14 percent had severe symptoms and these patients had severe breathing difficulties.

66 percent were seriously ill, whose lungs and other vital organs had been inefficient and were at risk of death.

 

Who is more at risk of being affected by The Co-19?

 

People with diabetes and people who are already suffering from an already-diseased disease such as asthma or diabetes or heart disease may be more susceptible to the Coruna virus.

Men are at a relatively high risk of getting the virus.

The health of the minor patients may take several days to several weeks, but if someone is in intensive care in the hospital and there, it may take several months to get it back.

How can we protect ourselves?

 Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth after touching any surface. It can enter your body because of the virus. 

Don't go near people who are coughing, sneezing or have a fever. They can get water droplets from the mouth with viruses that can be in the air. Keep a distance of at least one meter or three feet from such persons. 

 Stay at home. If there is fever, coughing or breathing 

Get immediate medical help if the problem is not met. Follow the instructions of the medical authorities.
