India seems to be in better shape than other countries at the moment. The first case of corona infection was reported here in Kerala on 30 January. At the same time, the first death occurred in Karnataka on 12 March. By the time the first corona infected patient died in India, by then the corona virus had gained momentum in other cities of the world. In the last three days, the number of new corona patients has increased significantly. On April 8, where 773 new patients were found, on April 9, the number was reduced to 591, but the last 24 hours remained extremely sensitive. On April 10, a record 896 Corona positives emerged in India, the highest ever in 24 hours.

Overview:

• Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
• Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
• The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. 
• The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
• At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.

Preventions :

To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:

• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.
• Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
• Stay home if you feel unwell.
• Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.
• Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.

Symptoms:

The COVID-19 virus affects different people in different ways.  COVID-19 is a respiratory disease and most infected people will develop mild to moderate symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment.  People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing severe disease and death.

1. Common symptoms include:
   • fever
   • tiredness
   • dry cough.
   Other symptoms include:
