Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Symptoms vary and may include fever, cough, fatigue, and loss of taste or smell, but some individuals remain asymptomatic. The virus can lead to severe respiratory issues, especially in older adults and those with underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include vaccination, wearing masks, practicing good hygiene, and maintaining physical distance. While many recover, COVID-19 can be life-threatening, making public health efforts crucial to controlling its spread.
