Coronavirus disease pandemic (Covid-19) ppt presentation slideshare

Hello, this presentation is put together to gain general insight about the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) spread across the globe with graphical images, texts and information.
A coronavirus is a kind of common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, or upper throat. Most coronaviruses aren't dangerous.
In early 2020, after a December 2019 outbreak in China, the World Health Organization identified SARS-CoV-2 as a new type of coronavirus. The outbreak quickly spread around the world.

1. CORONAVIRUS Different types of viruses causing illness in animals and humans Respiratory Common cold Severe disease

2. What is COVID-19? A new virus called the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that began in China in 2019. The disease is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In early 2020, after a December 2019  outbreak  in China, the World Health Organization identified SARS-CoV-2 as a new type of  coronavirus . The outbreak quickly spread around the world.

3. Why is it called Coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that have crown-like thorns on their surface. The Latin word for crown is  coronam. Coronavirus refers to a large family of viruses that includes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. For this reason, some people call the virus coronavirus. Crown = “Corona”

4. ORIGIN OF THE VIRUS Circulated in a veried range of animals Spillover Effected due to a range of factors MERS-COV SARS-COV

5. Coronaviruses are a big family of different viruses . Some of them cause the  common cold  in people. Others infect animals, including bats, camels, and cattle. The recent outbreak began in Wuhan , a city in the Hubei province of China . Reports of the first COVID-19 cases started in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 made the jump to humans at one of Wuhan’s open-air “wet markets.” They’re where customers buy fresh meat and fish, including animals that are killed on the spot. Coronavirus History

6. TRANSMISSION Droplets Object Eyes Nose Mouth Infected Person

7. Coronaviruses mainly spreads from person to person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus spreads by respiratory droplets released when someone infected with the virus coughs, sneezes, breathes, sings or talks. These droplets can be inhaled or land in the mouth, nose or eyes of a person nearby. Sometimes the  COVID-19   virus can spread when a person is exposed to small droplets that stay in the air for several minutes or hours — called airborne transmission How does the Coronavirus spread?

8. SYMPTOMS Exposure Symptoms 5-6 days Range from 1-14 days Very mild to severe Some may be asymptomatic Fever Fatigue Respiratory symptoms Cough Sore throat Shortness of breath

9. Some people Loss of smell or taste Skin rash Severe cases Pneumonia Diarrhea Organ failure Death

10. COVID-19  symptoms can be very mild to severe . Some people have no symptoms. The most common symptoms are fever, cough and tiredness . Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, muscle aches, chills, sore throat, headache, chest pain, and loss of taste or smell. This list is not all inclusive. Other less common symptoms have also been reported. Symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure. What are the symptoms of Coronavirus?

11. RISK FACTORS people recover without needing special treatment 80% Older people Chronic respiratory disease Obesity High blood pressure Diabetes Cancer Heart disease

12. serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies kidney disease chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) obesity, which occurs in people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher sickle cell disease a weakened immune system from a solid organ transplant type 2 diabetes Which groups are at risk? The risk is higher for anyone in close contact with people who have COVID-19, such as healthcare workers. Others are:-

13. DIAGNOSIS R everse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Antibody (serology) test Previous infection

14. Which are the diagnostic tests? PCR test :  This tests for the presence of the actual virus’s genetic material or its fragments as it breaks down. This is the most reliable and accurate test for detecting active infection. Antibody (serology) test :  This tests detects if you’ve had an immune response (antibodies) to the virus. This means that you’ve had the virus and your body (immune system, specifically antibodies) has mounted an attack to fight it. The test is detecting those antibodies. This test shouldn’t be used to diagnose an active infection.

15. TREATMENT Supportive Care & Medications Treatment at Home Treatment in Hospital

16. Coronavirus Treatment Treatment at Home Rest : It can make you feel better and may speed your recovery. Stay home : Don't go to work, school, or public places. Drink fluids : Dehydration can make symptoms worse and cause other health problems. Monitor : If your symptoms get worse, call your doctor right away. Don't go to their office without calling first. Ask your doctor about over-the-counter medicines that may help, like acetaminophen to lower your fever.

17. Treatment in the Hospital Check the levels of oxygen in your  blood  with a clip-on finger monitor. Listen to your  lungs . Give you a COVID-19 test. This involves putting a 6-inch cotton swab up both sides of your nose for about 15 seconds. Give you a chest X-ray or  CT scan .

18. MEDICATION In October 2020, the FDA approved the antiviral drug Remdesivir to treat COVID-19. The drug may be used to treat adults and children ages 12 and older and weighing at least 88 pounds , who have been hospitalized for COVID-19. Clinical trials suggest that in these patients, remdesivir may modestly speed up recovery time . Remdesivir Antiviral drug

19. PREVENTION Covering mouth and nose Wash hands and sanitize Social distancing 1m

20. Masks and PPE health settings Stay at home if unwell Hotline Medical professional Seek medical care early Share travel history Contact with unwell people Fever Cough Difficulty breathing Important to follow this advice

21. Protect Yourself & Others Ways to prevent the spread: Wear  a mask that covers your nose and mouth  to help protect yourself and others. Stay 6 feet apart from others  who don’t live with you. Get a  COVID-19 vaccine  when it is available to you. Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Wash your hands often  with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
