Corona virus disease (CVD), is fatal illness in humans
ranging from common cold to severe acute
respiratory syndrome. Corona Virus is transmitted
through respiratory droplets or mucosa fluids of a
person who contracted or died from CVD, contaminated
environment and infected wild animals. CVD
has an incubation period of 2 to 21 days and the
infection has an acute onset without any symptoms.
Currently, there is no standard treatment for CVD, so
it is important to avoid infection or further
spreading of the virus. Although historically the
mortality of this infection is less than 10%, CVD
outbreaks are characterized by negative impact on
health, the economy, and even national and
international security. Its treatment involves early,
supportive care to alleviate symptoms. Vital organ
function need to be supported in severe cases.
Clinicians should consider the possibility of CVD in
persons with travel or exposure history with the
incubation period presenting constitutional symptoms
in order to promptly identify diseased patients, and
prevent further spreading of the disease.
