WHAT IS COVID-19?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
HOW IT SPREADS
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
SYMPTOMS
COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization.
Most common symptoms:
- fever
- dry cough
- tiredness
Less common symptoms:
- aches and pains
- sore throat
- diarrhea
- conjunctivitis
- headache
- loss of taste or smell
- a rash on skin, or discoloration of fingers or toes
Serious symptoms:
- difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- chest pain or pressure
- loss of speech or movement
Seek immediate medical attention if you have serious symptoms. Always call before visiting your doctor or health facility.
People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should manage their symptoms at home.
On average it takes 5–6 days from when someone is infected with the virus for symptoms to show, however it can take up to 14 days.
PREVENTION
To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Stay home if you feel unwell.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance.
Follow the directions of your local health authority.
Avoiding unneeded visits to medical facilities allows healthcare systems to operate more effectively, therefore protecting you and others.
TREATMENT
Self care
If you feel sick you should rest, drink plenty of fluid, and eat nutritious food. Stay in a separate room from other family members, and use a dedicated bathroom if possible. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
Everyone should keep a healthy lifestyle at home. Maintain a healthy diet, sleep, stay active, and make social contact with loved ones through the phone or internet. Children need extra love and attention from adults during difficult times. Keep to regular routines and schedules as much as possible.
It is normal to feel sad, stressed, or confused during a crisis. Talking to people you trust, such as friends and family, can help. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a health worker or counselor.
Medical treatments
If you have mild symptoms and are otherwise healthy, self-isolate and contact your medical provider or a COVID-19 information line for advice.
Seek medical care if you have a fever, a cough, and difficulty breathing. Call in advance.
TRUE STORY
I have heard this virus since December 2019 when I was still at Shenzhen, China.
Yes, I was at China when the virus HAVE NOT BEEN SERIOUS YET.
At that time, when we heard the news, we are in the mid of organizing a tennis tournament.
The tournament already on-going, the players, officials, staff, volunteers all are on duty.
So we continue as normal, as nothing is happen. Until the tournament ends.
The tournaments was end successful and we have a happy ending.
Usually in this tournament we will celebrate Christmas & New Year together.
Some of us have been working on this tournament 2 month, 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks.
After the tournament, I have plan with my friends. Visit other province of China for few days before I head back to Malaysia. Again, the pandemic is still under control, we still goes on as normal life.
After the short trip, me and another friend (from Malaysia also), we went back to Malaysia.
Back to Malaysia, the news about COVID-19 is more and more well known.
Nearing to Chinese New Year, COVID-19 become serious. First cluster/case happen at Wuhan, China. As the virus spread too fast, the whole province is going through lockdown. No one is able to entry/exit the city. At this time Malaysia have not taken any action, people can still entry/exit from Malaysia no matter from air, land, sea.
Let's cut short, as day by day goes by, this virus have affected not only China, not only Malaysia but the whole world. As of 11th May 2020 08:00 AM the virus have 4,013,728 confirmed cases ; 278,993 confirmed deaths ; 215 countries, areas or territories with cases (database from WHO).
The virus have affected the whole world. People not able to go back to normal life, people are losing job as companies start to sacks their employees, deduct salary; we can't hang out with friends; no mass gathering is allowed; and many more. The virus have change our daily life. We need to be more caution, always wash our hand, practicing social distance and more. Keep on checking from WHO / KKM / Malaysiakini website to get the latest update (there is many other website source can be found, these are few of it)
