What are the symptoms of covid-19?
Common symptoms in the early stages include fever, fatigue, dry cough, systemic pain, sore throat, headache, and diarrhea. At this time, when spit is accompanied, it is more likely to be sinusitis(An air-filled cavity in a dense portion of a skull bone) or bronchitis than corona infection. When Virus enter into the lungs 5 to 6 days after infection can cause pneumonia. Symptoms of high fever and shortness of breath appear during pneumonia. The virus level is high in a mild initial stage with a slight throat. Rather, it is highly infectious when the patient does not know whether he or she is infected.
What to do if you suspect infection.
It is difficult to accurately differtiate from symptoms alone. In some cases, it is expressed as enterocolitis( Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the digestive tract, involving enteritis of the small intestine and colitis of the colon.)symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain without respiratory symptoms. Eventually, a real-time PCR test is required to confirm the diagnosis, but the problem is that respiratory infections and digestion tract infections are very common. Respiratory infections and digestion tract infections are both improved and stable treatments while taking symptom control medication for 2-3 days. Therefore, in reality, it is recommended to take a screening at a screening clinic if there is no improvement or worsening even if you watch while self-contained for 2-3 days.
Rules of life to prevent covid-19.
First, the corona virus is start to fever. For personal hygiene, showering with hot water (flowing water) can be beneficial to your health. Second, be careful with the handles and the surface of objects that can be virus carrier. If you touch a suspected object, wash your hands thoroughly with soap or running water or use an alcohol hand sanitizer. Third, if possible, open the door with your feet without holding the door handle. Wash your hands often, as you often unintentionally rub your eyes and touch your nose to get infected through your hands. Fourth, frequent open mouth cleansing (brushing) can also be prevented.
When will everyday life be possible?
The infectivity is about 2.2 infections in one patient, but it is twice as high considering that there are about 1.2 influenza. It is currently considered that there is a possibility of spreading the community in the metropolitan area, and it is desirable to refrain from gathering events as many as possible, because of the nature of Covid-19, which has strong propagation power, it is expected that many patients will continue to occur in irregular pattern through close contact. Do.
The timing of meetings, events, and openings is difficult to predict, but it seems to be caused mainly by close contact, so it is necessary to wait until the time when the community infection almost disappears. There have been no cases of outdoor activity. Outdoor exercise is fine, but it's a good idea to avoid meeting people or getting in touch during activities.
Is it necessary to wear a mask for the general public?
In the case of active community infection in the case of wearing a mask, it is effective in spreading and preventing infectious diseases, but if there is no community infection or low risk, it is judged that the public does not need to wear it. However, to date, people aged 65 or older, who are known to have a high mortality rate from covid-19, and those suffering from underlying diseases (diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc.) are used for health care in an enclosed space and a place where many people gather. It is necessary to wear a mask.
The principle is not to reuse health masks. There is no established method to sanetize and dry while preserving the filter function. However, if you don't have or lack a health mask, it is better to wear a cotton mask than not. It is better to dry and reuse in a clean place than not to use.
