COVID -19
• Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease. The first case was identified in Wuhan, China,
in December 2019. This disease can spread in Air and water.
• Symptoms of COVID-19 are variable, but often include fever, cough, fatigue, breathing difficulties, and loss of
smell and taste. Symptoms begin one to fourteen days after exposure to the virus. Older people are more likely to
have severe symptoms. At least a third of the people who are infected with the virus remain asymptomatic and do
not develop noticeable symptoms at any point in time, but they still can spread the disease. The virus that causes
COVID-19 spreads mainly when an infected person is in close contact with another person.
• We can prevent this disease by Face coverings, social distancing, hand washing and vaccination.
• COVID-19 spreads from person to person mainly through the respiratory route after an infected person coughs,
sneezes, sings, talks or breathes. A new infection occurs when virus-containing particles exhaled by an infected
person, either respiratory droplets or aerosols, get into the mouth, nose, or eyes of other people who are in close
contact with the infected person.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES OF COVID - 19
• Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19.
• Staying away from outbreak spots is the best preventive measure against the possibility
of infection with COVID-19.
• Hand washing is also the best preventive measure against the possibility of infection
with COVID-19.
• Staying at least three feet away from other people if people have any symptoms.

• The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an
ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2. It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The World Health
Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in January 2020 and
a pandemic in March 2020.
• Symptoms of COVID-19 are highly variable, ranging from none to life-threatening illness. The
virus spreads mainly through the air when people are near each other. It leaves an infected person as they

via contaminated surfaces. People remain infectious for up to two weeks, and can spread the virus even if they
do not show symptoms.

• A COVID‑19 vaccine is a vaccine intended to provide acquired immunity against severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19). Prior to the COVID‑19
pandemic, there was an established body of knowledge about the structure and function
of coronaviruses causing diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory
syndrome, which enabled accelerated development of various vaccine technologies during early 2020. On 10
January 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence data was shared through GISAID, and by 19 March, the
global pharmaceutical industry announced a major commitment to address COVID-19. Many countries have
implemented phased distribution plans that prioritize those at highest risk of complications, such as the elderly,
and those at high risk of exposure and transmission, such as healthcare workers. As of 13 March 2021,
355.16 million doses of COVID‑19 vaccine have been administered worldwide based on official reports from
national health agencies. COVID‑19, a vaccine for an infectious disease had never been produced in less than
several years — and no vaccine existed for preventing a coronavirus infection in humans.
