ABOUT
COVID - 19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious
disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most
people infected with the virus will experience
mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover
without requiring special treatment. However,
some will become seriously ill and require
medical attention. Older people and those with
underlying medical conditions like
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic
respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely
to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick
with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at
any age.

mild to severe symptoms. Possible symptoms
include Fever or chills Cough Shortness of
breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or
body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell

Preventions -
The best way to prevent and slow down
transmission is to be well informed about the
disease and how the virus spreads. Protect
yourself and others from infection by staying at
least 1 metre apart from others, wearing a
properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or
using an alcohol-based rub frequently. Get
vaccinated when its your turn and follow local
guidance. The virus can spread from an infected
persons mouth or nose in small liquid particles
when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe.
These particles range from larger respiratory
droplets to smaller aerosols. It is important to
practice respiratory etiquette, for example by
coughing into a flexed elbow, and to stay home
and self-isolate until you recover if you feel
unwell.

Issues Faced -
Recent research has shown that some of these
people are more likely to experience
cardiovascular issues, such as an irregular
heartbeat, stroke and heart failure.
Importantly, this higher risk of heart disease
was shown even in people who only had a mild
case of COVID-19 and were not hospitalized. SARS
-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, most
commonly affects the lungs but It can also lead
to serious heart problems. Lung damage caused by
the virus prevents oxygen from reaching the
heart muscle, which in turn damages the heart
tissue and prevents it from getting oxygen to
other tissues.
