Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that cause diseases in animals and humans. These viruses are zoonotic in nature as they jump from animals to humans. There are seven known coronaviruses in humans including MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV and novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

The most recently discovered novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causes a highly infectious disease called COVID-19. The World Health Organization has declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. The WHO defines the word pandemic as the worldwide spread of a new disease. 

Some of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 include dry cough, fever and shortness of breath. While clinical trials of several vaccines are underway, as of now there is no known vaccine for the novel coronavirus.

People with COVID-19 should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms and those suffering from serious complications of the infection may need to get hospitalized. 

As of now, some of the most effective ways to relieve symptoms of the novel coronavirus include resting at home, taking medications for fever and drinking plenty of liquids including water. If you experience difficulty in breathing and have a fever and dry cough, contact your nearest health care provider or call a helpline and explain the situation.

Remember, do not go directly to the doctor’s office or hospital, where you may infect other people. The flu vaccine does not protect against coronavirus and it is important to remember that developing a vaccine that is safe and effective in human beings may take many months.
