Corona Virus - Paragraph
Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses. It is an infectious disease. It causes diseases in mammals and birds. The name "coronavirus" is derived from Latin. The meaning of corona is "crown" or "wreath.” The name was coined by June Almeida and David Tyrrell who first observed and studied human coronaviruses. It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread globally. In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China. On 31 December 2019, the outbreak was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of smell and taste.
The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days but may range from two to fourteen days. COVID-19 spreads mainly when people are in close contact (two metres or six feet) via small droplets produced during coughing, sneezing, or talking. Preventive measures to reduce the chances of infection include staying at home, avoiding crowded places, keeping distance from others, washing hands with soap and water often and for at least 20 seconds, practising good respiratory hygiene, and avoiding touching the eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. There is no available vaccine, but various agencies are actively developing vaccine candidates. So we should be more careful.
