Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019
and January.”

7. Coronaviruses are a large family of
viruses that are common in many
different species of animals,
including camels, cattle, cats, and
bats.
Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect
people and then spread between
people such as with MERS and SARS.

1)Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E)
2)Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43)
3)Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63, New Haven
coronavirus)
4)Human coronavirus HKU1
5) SARS-CoV
6)Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS- CoV),
previously known as novel coronavirus2012 and HCoV-EMC.
7)Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also known as Wuhan
pneumonia or Wuhan coronavirus

25. People of all ages have been infected, but the
mortality rate is much higher in people older than 80
Children can also become severely infected
Highest risk:
1)Healthcare worker

30. Treatment
a) No specific antiviral treatment
b) Supportive care; ventilatory support
c) Currently no vaccine is available
Prevention
Respiratory and hand hygiene
Use of PPE
Avoid travel to affected areas
Safe food practices
30
31. W= Wash Hand and practice respiratory
Hygiene
U= Use of PPE
H= Have proper and safe diet
A= Avoid large crowd and travel to affected area.
N= Never hide flue like symptoms
31
32. Hand washing is the single most
effective way to prevent the
spread of communicable
diseases.
Standard six step Hand Washing
Five moments of Hand washing
32
33. Correct use of Mask
Correct use of Gloves
Eye Googles
Aprons/Gowns
Hair covers
Shoe covers
