CORONAVIRUS SPLASH
Coronavirus death toll surpasses 900, making it more deadly than any other virus so,
The world health organisation(WHO) has declared Coronavirus to be a public health emergency.
The death toll from coronavirus in mainland China has hit 908, making it more deadly than the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic.
China’s National Health has confirmed 3062 new infections and 97 new deaths — a new daily record.
The infection rate has escalated sharply since the beginning of the year, with only 547 cases confirmed on January 22. By February 1 there were 14,300 cases.
There are now a total of 40,553 cases of the coronavirus worldwide, including 15 infections in Australia. The death toll worldwide is now at 910.
Of those infections, 6500 are severe, according to official data.
It comes as a Chinese official confirmed a worrying new fact about the deadly coronavirus; infections are taking place through aerosol transmission and symptoms includes
*Symptom*
Signs and symptoms of infection with the new coronavirus may appear two to 14 days after exposure and can include:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
*METHOD OF TRANSMISSION*
it was previously said that there are two main ways of transmitting the virus which were
1.direct transmission
2.breathing in air close to an infected patient who sneezes or coughs, and also contact transmission when a person touches an object tainted with the virus before infecting themselves by touching their mouth, nose or eyes.
However, an official in Shanghai confirmed the virus also travelled through aerosol transmission, which means it can float a long distance through the air and cause infection later when it is breathed in.
Aerosol transmission refers to the mixing of the virus with droplets in the air to form aerosols, which causes infection after inhalation, according to medical experts, so it is probably advised to walk around streets or places around you with a nose cover in order not to inhale this deadly virus killing people out there.So we need to stay safe and healthy to avoid the deadly virus and create quick preventive measures,more so let's make haste to inform health officers if symptoms if the virus is suspected anywhere around.
