 On December 31, 2019 a
clustering of pneumonia
BACKGROU
cases of unknown etiology
ND was reported in Wuhan
City, Hubei Province of
China
BACKGROUND

As of February 27,
2020 there have
been a total of
83,105 confirmed
cases of the CoViD
-19 (2019 -nCoV)
including 2,858
deaths.
BACKGROUND
The CoViD – 19
(2019-nCoV)
outbreak, originally
centered in Wuhan
city, is continuing to
show evidence of
broader geographic
spread across
mainland China.
Where did corona virus come from??
BACKGROUND

Based on these results, the authors said the CoViD – 19 (2019-nCoV) likely
originated in bats. However, no bats were sold at the Huanan seafood market,
which suggests that another yet-to-be-identified animal acted as a steppingstone
of sorts to transmit the virus to humans.
"It seems likely that another animal host is acting as an intermediate host
between bats and humans," said study co-lead author Guizhen Wu, of the
Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
 On January 9, 2020, Chinese health
authorities reported that the cause of this
viral pneumonia was preliminarily
identified as a novel (new) type of
coronavirus (2019-nCoV) which is
BACKGROU different from any other human
coronaviruses discovered so far
ND
Initially the said disease was thought to
be transmitted through animal contact
but recent reports of health workers
infected with the 2019-nCoV suggests
human to human transmission
 DOH hereby issues these interim guidelines to
provide guidance to all national health
security partners and stakeholders so as to
take necessary precautions, prevent and
immediately act in the event of entry of
potential cases of CoViD – 19 (2019-nCoV) in
BACKGROU the country

Being a novel or new pathogen never
experienced by humans, it is considered an
emerging infectious disease and is currently
being monitored and the details of the
pathogen is investigated.
 Coronaviruses are a large family of
viruses causing respiratory illness
ranging from the common cold to
more serious infections such as
MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV.
WHAT IS
CORONAVIRUS(COV
)???
Coronavirus
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like
spikes on their surface.
There are four main sub-groupings of
coronaviruses, known as alpha, beta, gamma, and
delta.
Rarely animal coronaviruses can evolve and infect
people and then spread between people such as
has been seen with MERS CoV and SARS.
There are seven coronaviruses that can infect
humans
CoViD – 19 (2019-nCoV) Novel
Coronavirus
Current available information show that most patients present with fever, fatigue,
little sputum and small number of patients with difficulty breathing. CXR
findings of Pneumonia described as infiltrative lung disease.
How Other
Coronaviruses
Spread
Human coronaviruses most
commonly spread from an
infected person to others through

close personal contact, such as
touching or shaking hands
touching an object or surface
with the virus on it, then
touching your mouth, nose, or
eyes before washing your hands

for CoViD - infection is to avoid being exposed
