This alone speaks the volume of its unprecedented spread, which presumably has originated from one of China\u2019s food markets at Wuhan in December 2019. In approximately four months, more than one million confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported world wide, with close to 70,000 deaths. So what really is this deadly virus and disease?<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is a kind of respiratory illness, caused due to SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). As its name indicates, it comes from a family of coronaviruses that are usually seen in animals, mammals, reptiles etc. While the chances of coronavirus transmission from animals to human are rare, the previous cases of coronavirus outbreak were reported in 2003 and 2012, with SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The animal source of the virus behind COVID-19 is still controversial;however this would have possibly originated from bats, pangolins, or snakes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"COVID-19_%E2%80%93_SPREAD_SIGNS_SYMPTOMS\"><\/span><strong>COVID-19 \u2013 SPREAD, SIGNS &amp; SYMPTOMS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Spread <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is a communicable ailment which usually spread from people to people via respiratory droplets that come from an infected person who are in close contact with another person within a radius of less than three feet.

When it comes to whether it\u2019s curable or life-threatening, this depends on a variety of factors. With isolation and excellent support care to treat its symptoms, this disease is mostly curable in the case of healthy adults and kids. However, elderly people above 65 years plus people with a medical history of lung diseases, heart ailments, cancer, liver and kidney diseases etc are most at risk to develop severe complications including pneumonia kind of symptoms and multiple organ failures which sometimes even lead to death.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HOW_CAN_I_PREVENT_OR_KEEP_MYSELF_SAFE_FROM_THIS_DISEASE\"><\/span><strong>HOW CAN I PREVENT OR KEEP MYSELF SAFE FROM THIS DISEASE?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most recommended way to avoid the spread of this infection is via social distancing or by limiting your interaction with people who show symptoms of respiratory illnesses. Following strict hygiene or sanitation practices also help you to keep this disease at a bay.
