[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1583239630215","data":"In the past few weeks, Corona Virus has been the buzzword on the internet and on news. Thousands of foreign nationals have been evacuated from China, owing to the outbreak of the virus in Wuhan, that has reportedly killed at least 425 people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared it as a global health emergency, as more than 20000 cases have been reported worldwide. According to reports, the infection is now more widespread than the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak that racked the world in 2002-2003.<\/p>What is a Corona Virus?<\/b><\/p>Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds and in humans, these viruses cause respiratory infections including the common cold.  <\/p>Originally transmitted between animals and people, there are several corona viruses that have not infected humans yet. These viruses have been named corona because they resemble the solar corona. On January 7, 2020, a novel corona virus has been identified by Chinese authorities and has been named 2019-nCoV. This new strain of the virus has never been identified in humans before and this strain is what is in the news these days. <\/p>What are the symptoms?<\/b><\/p>As per WHO, the signs and symptoms of 2019-nCoV are just like the symptoms of common cold - fever, cough, shortness of breath, breathing difficulties. In extreme cases, it can lead to pneumonia, SARS, renal failure and even death.  <\/p>Which places have been affected?<\/b><\/p>China has witnessed the highest number of cases and deaths, specifically in the Hubei province. The virus has spread to many Asian countries and other continents, through people who recently travelled to China. <\/p>What are the authorities doing to stop it from spreading?<\/b><\/p>Top scientists are reportedly working on a vaccine but it is unlikely to be available for mass distribution before 2021.<\/p>The Chinese government has effectively sealed off Wuhan and has placed extensive restrictions on travel to and from other cities. <\/p>Many airlines have cancelled flights from China and some countries have evacuated their nationals from China. India is also one of those countries.<\/p>What can you do to prevent it?<\/b><\/p>Wash your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. Preferably, keep a hand-sanitizer handy. <\/b><\/p>When coughing or sneezing, do it into a tissue paper or if that is unavailable, sneeze into your elbow.<\/p>Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. <\/p>If possible, wear a face-mask while outside.<\/p>"}]
