According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronaviruses are a broad family of viruses that can cause different conditions, from the common cold to more serious diseases. , such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV).
The newly discovered coronavirus causes the infectious coronavirus disease COVID-19. Both were detected after the outbreak that occurred in Wuhan (China) in December 2019.
Fatigue, fever, and a dry cough are the most common symptoms of COVID-19; however, some patients may present with nasal congestion, aches, runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea.
Although most patients (about 80%) recover from the disease without the need for any special treatment, about one in six people who contract COVID-19 develop a serious condition and have difficulty breathing .
To protect yourself and prevent the spread of disease, WHO recommends washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that kills viruses that may be on your hands. In addition, a minimum distance of one meter must be maintained in front of anyone who sneezes or coughs, because if you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets that harbor the COVID-19 virus.
It is not yet known exactly how long it survives this new virus on a surface, but it appears to behave like other coronaviruses.
Studies indicate that they can survive from a few hours to several days. The time may vary depending on the conditions (type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).
