What is COVID-19? (who.int)
Several coronaviruses cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to the more severe Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The newest coronavirus causes COVID-19, unknown before it began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. COVID-19’s most common symptoms are fever, dry cough and tiredness. Less common symptoms include aches and pains, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or a skin rash or discoloration of fingers or toes. Symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms. About 80 percent recover without needing hospital treatment. About 20 become seriously ill and develop difficulty breathing. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart and lung problems, diabetes or cancer are at higher risk of serious illness.
