What is Covid 19 or coronavirus?

COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, is a highly infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, allowing it to pass easily from person to person. COVID-19 can lead to symptoms ranging from mild to severe, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and loss of taste or smell. In some cases, especially among older adults and those with underlying health conditions, the virus can cause severe respiratory illness, pneumonia, and even death.

Since its outbreak, COVID-19 has rapidly become a global pandemic, affecting millions worldwide and prompting countries to implement health measures like social distancing, mask-wearing, and hand hygiene. Vaccination efforts have played a key role in managing the pandemic, helping reduce severe cases and hospitalizations. While the virus continues to evolve, ongoing research and preventive measures are crucial to control its spread and mitigate its impact.
