Ever since the\noutbreak of COVID-19, countries around the globe have been scrambling to get\nthe pandemic under control. Originally, the disease found its inception in the\nprovince of Wuhan, China but since then it has reached the remotest corners.\nIndia too is in the midst of a nationwide lockdown whereby people have been\nasked to stay indoors while the country\u2019s healthcare professionals try to\neradicate the growing menace. That said, there has been an increase in the\nlevel of mass hysteria and a dearth of reliable sources, thanks to the\nwidespread misinformation about the disease. This makes it all the more crucial\nto collate relevant facts and bust myths about the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is coronavirus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coronavirus is a\nvirus that can cause a group of mild to severe infectious diseases \u2013 including\nSARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), MERS (Middle East respiratory\nsyndrome) and more recently\u2013 the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease). This virus is\nmutable and is transmitted from saliva and particle discharge from a coughing or\nsneezing person. Apart from being airborne, coronavirus is spread through\ncommunity and surface transmission, and can infect an individual through\ncontact and use of an infected person\u2019s items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the symptoms of coronavirus? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms of coronavirus\nare often confused with those of the common cold, flu and allied respiratory\ndiseases, making it tricky to detect its presence. In fact, infected people\nmight remain unaware about it as the virus can stay asymptomatic for a span of\n2-4 weeks. However, WHO has highlighted key symptoms of the disease and allied\nguidelines on its website for its prevention. Infected individuals may\nexperience a recurring fever, dry cough and fatigue \u2013 categorized as mild symptoms\n– and become a cause for concern when the symptoms amplify, where chest pains,\nshortness of breath and a sore throat are experienced on a stretch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the right time to get tested? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coronavirus can affect a range of people but almost all infected persons can recover from the disease after experiencing a moderate manifestation of its symptoms. In most populations around the world, there has been a higher success rate of recovered individuals. However, it is crucial that when mild symptoms are experienced, self-isolation is maintained and immunity is built. Individuals experiencing an aggravation in symptoms should immediately get themselves tested. However, there is no conclusively right time to get tested and to prevent any complications, it is better to get tested at the earliest possible opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a common myth that the coronavirus doesn\u2019t affect the youth. However, research and statistics have shown that the virus doesn\u2019t discriminate between people with the only exception being that children and persons suffering from severe health complications have a higher chance of contracting the disease. That is why it is important to take every precaution against the disease. Furthermore, with the absence of a vaccine, the only way to minimize the chances of contraction is to social distance and increase immunity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
