Coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).[10] The disease started in 2019 in Wuhan,
China, and has spread globally, resulting in the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.[11][12]
Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Muscle pain,
sputum production and sore throat are less common symptoms.[6][13] While the
majority of cases result in mild symptoms,[14] some progress to pneumonia and
multi-organ failure.[11][15] The deaths per number of diagnosed cases is
estimated at between 1% and 5% but varies by age and other health
conditions.[16][17]
The infection is
spread from one person to others via respiratory droplets, often produced
during coughing and sneezing.[18][19] Time from exposure to onset of symptoms
is generally between 2 and 14 days, with an average of 5 days.[20][21] The
standard method of diagnosis is by reverse transcription polymerase chain
reaction (rRT-PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab or throat swab. The infection can
also be diagnosed from a combination of symptoms, risk factors and a chest CT
scan showing features of pneumonia.[22][23]
