Hi
Covid 19 disease have wide range of symptoms
From NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL
To symptoms like
Breathlessness, high fever, dry cough, chest pain, weaknesses, loose motions, vomiting etc
You should also know mortality due to covid 19 disease is 2.5 to 3%
Which means that if 100 people are affected by corona virus there are chances that out of these 100 people 2 or 3 person can die due to corona virus disease and others will recover well on their own
So why this pandemic is so worrisome
It’s because this disease can spread really very fast
And as this is a new disease there is no immunity in humans for this disease
And we want to reduce/ control the number of deaths caused by it
Next Steps
So to prevent this disease so that we can reduce/ control the number of deaths
We should follow
- Social distancing
- Hand hygiene
- Respiratory hygiene ( Proper use of mask, covering nose & mouth while sneezing / coughing and washing hands after that)

Now a days its very difficult to differentiate any normal influenza fever and covid fever. But when anyone has no travel history or any contact history then it maybe due to influenza. Don't worry maintain social distancing and proper hygiene.
