Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in human and animals. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The most recently discovered coronavirus called as 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causes coronavirus disease Coronavirus (COVID-19) from which the world is suffering right now. The symptoms of a Coronavirus (COVID-19) can range from a mild cold to flu like symptoms to moderate and severe upper-respiratory infections.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) virus affects different people in different ways. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease and most infected people will develop mild to moderate symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment. People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing severe disease and death.
People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should self-isolate and contact their medical provider or a Coronavirus (COVID-19) information line for advice on testing and referral.
People with fever, cough or difficulty breathing should call their doctor and seek medical attention
