When the world learned about the new coronavirus, no one expected that it would be capable of profoundly shaking the economy of all countries, but there was already an idea of its danger.
But why hasn't an effective cure for the Coronavirus been found yet? Given that it first appeared in December?
It is not yet known, as it is not a virus transformed from another existing one, but rather a new virus of truly strange origin from China, which consequently is not the first time that a potentially dangerous virus has emerged from there.
Today we have gathered some information that will certainly be relevant for you to pass on to those people who are not aware of the main symptoms that the coronavirus causes in our body.
What should I do if I have these Coronavirus symptoms?
First of all, you need to look after your immune system, even before you show any symptoms. And to do this, there are several concrete actions that you can start taking, such as taking vitamin D, Omega 3, tea, drinking plenty of water. Physical exercises at home, etc.
The symptoms are very varied, but the drawing above represents the main ones that occur in everyone who catches the coronavirus.
Any person with a fever and respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, cough and shortness of breath is considered a potential suspected case of Covid-19, the disease caused by this infectious agent. Before this, the definition applied only to people who had traveled or had contact with infected patients.
So, should anyone with a similar condition go to the hospital?
The advice from health professionals is that: if you suspect you have the condition, stay at home for 14 days and only go to a hospital if the problem gets worse.
The WHO also recommends that other residents of the residence remain in isolation for 14 days.
But you must be cautious, and during this period, you need to pay attention to the evolution of the condition. “Mild symptoms, such as coughing and runny nose lasting several days, are not a cause for concern.
However, until further notice, if there is a persistent high fever and if the cough is accompanied by respiratory discomfort, seek immediate medical attention”, recommends Marcelo Mimica, infectious disease specialist at Fleury Medicina e Saúde.
The message is doubly valid for risk groups, that is, people over 60, smokers, those with respiratory problems, and so on.
