What is coronavirus (COVID-19)?
In late 2019, a new type of coronavirus began to make people sick with flu-like symptoms. The disease is called coronavirus-19 or COVID-19, for short. The virus spreads easily and has now affected people in many countries.
What are the signs and symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Coronavirus (COVID-19) causes fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Some people may have the following symptoms:
sore throat
shaking chills
constant shaking with chills
Muscle pain
headache
loss of the way of taste or smell
Infection with this virus can be more serious in some people.
How is coronavirus (COVID-19) spread?
People can spread the coronavirus from others who have the virus. This happens when an infected person sneezes or coughs, spreading small drops of liquid in the air. These drops can get into someone's nose, mouth, or eyes, or they can also be inhaled.
Contagion can also occur when a person touches an infected surface with germs (infected drops) and then touches his nose, mouth, or eyes.
Experts are looking at whether the virus can spread through feces (poop).
Is the coronavirus (COVID-19) dangerous for children?
Experts are still researching and learning things about the coronavirus (COVID-19). There are far fewer cases of the virus in children. Most of them contracted the infection from someone they lived with or from a family member. The infection caused by this virus usually appears to be milder in children than in adults or older people. But there have been cases of children developing more severe symptoms up to several weeks after becoming infected with the virus.
Call your doctor if your child or someone in your family has a fever, cough, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, dizziness, or just doesn't feel well. Tell your doctor if you have been around someone with COVID-19 or if you have lived in or traveled to an area where many people have the coronavirus.
Make sure your children have all of their immunizations. Protect them against diseases like measles and the flu. Children who have another infection may have a harder time getting better if they get COVID-19.
How is coronavirus (COVID-19) treated?
Most people who become infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19), including children, do not have serious problems. Most improve with rest and drinking fluids. But it is important to keep children with COVID-19 away from other people who may have more trouble with the virus.
People who are very ill receive care in a hospital for respiratory help, intravenous fluids, and other treatments.
How can I protect myself from the coronavirus (COVID-19)?
To protect yourself and your family:
Keep your family at home and away from others as much as possible.
Avoid other people, especially those who are sick and crowded places until the outbreak is under control. Remember that COVID-19 can spread before a person has symptoms and even when someone has no symptoms.
If you need to go outside, cloth masks can help slow the spread of the virus in adults and children older than 2 years:
To learn how to put on and take off masks, clean them, or make your own cloth mask, see the CDC guide.
Try to stay a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) away from other people.
Wash your hands well and often. Wash for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or use antiseptic hand gel with at least 60% alcohol. Teach your children to do the same.
Try not to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Use a household cleaner to clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch a lot.
Follow the recommendations of local health authorities, especially if there are people with coronavirus in your area.
