COVID-19

PRESENTED BY: GUANZON, JHEREMY A.

 WHAT IS A PANDEMIC?
A PANDEMIC, IS AN OUTBREAK OF INFECTIOUS
DISEASE THAT OCCURS OVER A WIDE
GEOGRAPHICAL AREA AND THAT IS OF HIGH
PREVALENCE, GENERALLY AFFECTING A SIGNIFICANT
PROPORTION OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION,
USUALLY OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS.
PANDEMICS ARISE FROM EPIDEMICS, WHICH ARE
OUTBREAKS OF DISEASE CONFINED TO ONE PART OF
THE WORLD, SUCH AS A SINGLE COUNTRY.
PANDEMICS, ESPECIALLY THOSE INVOLVING
INFLUENZA, SOMETIMES OCCUR IN WAVES, SO THAT
A POSTPANDEMIC PHASE, MARKED BY DECREASED
DISEASE ACTIVITY, MAY BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
PERIOD OF HIGH DISEASE PREVALENCE.
WHAT IS COVID-19?
An acute disease in humans
caused by a coronavirus, which is
characterized mainly by fever and
cough and is capable of
progressing to severe symptoms
and in some cases death,
especially in older people and
those with underlying health
conditions. It was originally
identified in China in 2019 and
became pandemic in 2020.
HAPPENINGS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
 HOW IS IT TRANSMITTED?

Current evidence suggests that the virus spreads

mainly between people who are in close contact with
each other, for example at a conversational distance.
The virus can spread from an infected person’s
mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they
cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. Another person
can then contract the virus when infectious particles
that pass through the air are inhaled at short range
(this is often called short-range aerosol or short-
range airborne transmission) or if infectious particles
come into direct contact with the eyes, nose, or
mouth (droplet transmission).
 SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19

AstraZeneca
Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna

These vaccines are categorized by the methods they use to get

key vaccine ingredients into our bodies. They fall under three
types: messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) vaccines, viral
vector vaccines, and inactivated virus vaccines.

All of the vaccines available in the Philippines are

recommended to be delivered in two doses between 14 to 28
days apart, except the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is
one dose.
