What do you do if you have COVID-19?

Image
If you have COVID-19, immediately isolate yourself and if the case is severe then immediately seek medical care. If the case isn't that severe then stay in 14 days of quarantine, so that other people aren't affected by the virus.    While you are in the quarantine you should drink plenty of water and maintain a nutritious diet.  After the 14 day quarantine you can visit the hospital to do a re test. If you are tested positive again you should stay with the hospital no matter your condition. Senior Citizens  who are tested positive they should immediately seek medical care as it can be a big risk for them. People with pre-existing medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and have covid should immediately seek medical care too. image from- https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40ngough_bioserendipity%2Fwhat-to-do-if-you-have-symptoms-of-covid-19-c2bb5e9731c&psig=AOvVaw0GNTHRTFaCqkZtw9mBY0hb&ust=1604487450821000&source=images&cd=vfe&am

How the Virus started?

Image
The virus COVID-19 started from an animal and then passed on to humans at the Huanan Market in Wuhan, China. On the 31st December 2019, WHO(World Health Organization) was notified about numerous cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, China which had a population of 11 million citizens. By 5th January 59 cases were reported and none of which were deaths. 10 days later, there were over 280 cases. At this point, there had been 6 deaths in Wuhan, 51 people were seriously ill and 12 were on the verge of death(critical condition). Many of the people had severe acute respiratory syndrome and the cause of this became known as COVID 19(Coronavirus) or you could say SARS-CoV-2. After this the world started growing in cases, the fatality rate increased severely and later it was declared as a Global Pandemic.  Image and Information referred: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/psb.1843

When shall you get tested for COVID-19?

Image
 As you have seen in our previous post about all the COVID-19 symptoms, if you have any of these symptoms it is best for you to get tested.  Even if you don't display the symptoms of COVID-19 and  if you have been exposed to people who have symptoms or have the virus, you should immediately get tested. If you have been tested and you are waiting for the results you should stay isolated until you get the result to be safe so that no-one else gets the virus incase you are positive. In places with less testing capacity, people who are at higher risk of the virus like doctors and senior citizens shall get tested first before anyone else.
