Identification of COVID - 19 .1

Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are

known to cause illness ranging from the common
cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). A novel corona virus
(COVID-19) was identified in 2019 in Wuhan,
China. The disease quickly spread worldwide,
.resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic
2. Source of COVID - 19 :

Corona virus that causes East Syndrome middle

respiratory MERS-CoV is a zoonotic virus that is
transmitted from animals to humans. The origin of
the virus is not yet fully understood, but according to
the analysis of the various genomes of the virus, it is
believed that its origin is in bats and that it moved to
camels at some point in the distant past.

: Method of transmission .4
• Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different
sizes: when the droplet particles are >5-10 μm in diameter they are
referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are <5μm in diameter,
they are referred to as droplet nuclei.

• Droplet transmission occurs when a person is in in close contact

(within 1 m) with someone who has respiratory symptoms (e.g.,
coughing or sneezing) and is therefore at risk of having his/her
mucosa (mouth and nose) or conjunctiva (eyes) exposed to
potentially infective respiratory droplets.

Therefore, transmission of the COVID-19 •

virus can occur by direct contact with infected
people and indirect contact with surfaces in the
immediate environment or with objects used
on the infected person (e.g., stethoscope or
thermometer)
