Know more about the causes and symptoms of CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
Coronaviruses are a common group of viruses; while some coronaviruses affect only animals, a few others can also affect humans. It is very likely that all of us have been infected by coronavirus at some point in our life. The symptoms of a coronavirus can range from a mild cold to flu like symptoms to moderate and severe upper-respiratory infections. The SARS epidemic (severe acute respiratory syndrome) was also caused by coronavirus. Coronavirus is also known to affect the gut and hence some patients may suffer from diarrhoea.
The current situation is caused by COVID 19.
Coronavirus infections typically spike up during winter months as the virus can thrive in cold temperatures. So, people typically suffer from cold due to coronavirus in the months that are cold. The immunity is short lived and so we fall prey to cold and flu again.
Below are some basic precautions that each one of us should follow for our good health. Pass it on to your family, friends and loved ones.

COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air.
In perfectly healthy individuals the coronavirus infection may go away with minor symptoms. Coronavirus can be tested with a nasal swab or a blood test. Currently the testing for Coronavirus is undertaken by select government institutions including the AIIMS and National Institute of Virology, Pune
People with no respiratory symptoms, such as cough, do not need to wear a medical mask. WHO recommends the use of masks for people who have symptoms of COVID-19 and for those caring for individuals who have symptoms, such as cough and fever. The use of masks is crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone (at home or in a health care facility). People who are infected with COVID 19 or have flu like symptoms should wear a mask so that they do not spread the infection. Masks help in keeping the droplets in but does not help in keeping the droplets out. That is, if you are healthy and using a mask, you are at more risk to carry an infection than if you are not wearing a mask.
It can take anything from a few hours to several days to receive COVID-19 test results. The length of time will vary depending on the type of test and where it took place. However, usually reports delivered within 48* hours.
It is advised to visit your referring doctor or medical practitioner along with the report for the final interpretation of your test results
