 INTRODUCTION
 Covid 19 causes acute respiratory syndrome.

 The first case was reported in Wuhan,China in

December 2019.

 The disease spreaded world wide and became

pandemic.
 Hosts, Reservoirs and Infected
Animals
 Infect birds and mammals.

 Bats are hosts to the largest number of viral genotypes of

coronavirus.

 Epidemics can occur when viruses transmit from one

species to another.

 Can cause mutations in proteins that allow viruses to bind

to cells.

Humans
 Human coronaviruses are causes of respiratory and
gastrointestinal tract infections.

 Estimated to account for 5-10 percent of all adult upper

respiratory tract infections (“common cold” to pneumonia and
ARDS).

 GI symptoms including diarrhea.

 When mutations occur, coronaviruses can be a significant

cause of human epidemics.
 INCUBATION PERIOD

The incubation period of COVID-19, which is

the time between exposure to the virus and
symptom onset, is on average 5-6 days, but
can be as long as 14 days. Thus, quarantine
should be in place for 14 days from the last
exposure to a confirmed.
 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Antibody (Serology) Tests

What they do: These tests detect antibodies that signal that
the body has mounted an immune response to the virus.
They do not indicate whether a person has current COVID-
19 infection, or when they were exposed.
Method: Blood Sample
Molecular Tests
What they do: These tests loo for the virus’s genetic
material and are the current standard for diagnosing COVID-
19.
Method: Nasal or throat swab, and for some test, saliva.
 COVI
D-19 SYMPTOMS

Fever or chills
 Cough
 Shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing
 Fatigue
 Muscle or body aches
 Headache
 New loss of taste or smell
 Sore throat
 Congestion or runny nose
 Nausea or vomiting
 Diarrhea
 TREATMENTS
There is no specific, effective treatment or cure for corona viruses’ disease
2019 (COVID-19) the disease caused by the SARSCOVID-2 virus.

 But in India “Covishield” and “Covaxin” were used in this time.

 The “Oxford –AstraZeneca” vaccine has been approved for use

in the UK. There is no vaccine approved by WHO.
 PREVENTION
 Wash hands even if they are visibly clean.

 To cover your nose and mouth with

handkerchief/tissue while sneezing and coughing.

 To throw used tissues into closed bins

immediately after use.

 To maintain a safe distance from persons during

interaction, especially with those having flu-like
symptoms.
