Everyone is aware of the Corona Virus which has taken up the world with a storm, with over 4087 deaths. It has left the people in a frenzy of fear. It originated in the markets of Wuhan, China, but has now spread to over 100 countries.

In India, we have currently 63 cases of coronavirus reported, the last two from Mumbai. There are no knows causes for the Corona Virus but it's being investigated. It’s spreading with human contact and there has been evidence of Community spread.

Community spread basically means people in a particular area are infected with the virus, and few of them don’t even know how they were infected.

The main symptoms of Corona Virus are:

These generally start showing up in people within 14 days of when the people come into contact with the virus. In extreme cases, it can lead to severe respiratory problems, kidney failure, and even death. If you see any of these symptoms, it’s advised to see a doctor immediately.

The cause of the virus is not known yet but investigations are being conducted to determine the cause. It is spreading through human contact, if a person infected with Corona Virus sneezes, the virus travels through the air droplets. It also spreads through human contact so it’s best to keep a distance from people infected.

It’s best to avoid people who have recently visited the most affected countries like China, Iran, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. It’s difficult to diagnose coronavirus as the symptoms are similar to that of a common cold or flu. So it’s best to take a laboratory test to confirm.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued the following guidelines:
