It may also cause a sore throat, headache and diarrhea. According to a recent recent research, the lack of taste and the smell of something can also be a symptom of the corona virus.
It is believed that it may take an average of five days for the corona virus to start showing symptoms, but in some people it may be shorter.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it can take up to 14 days for the virus to reach the body and show symptoms.

When does the need to be hospitalized?

Most of the people who have corona virus infection can be cured by taking rest and pain reducing medicines like paracetamol.

The need for hospitalization is when the person starts having trouble breathing. The doctor examines the lungs of the patient to find out how much the infection has increased and whether the patient needs oxygen or ventilator.

But in this, the patient does not have to be admitted to the emergency department of the hospital i.e., accident and emergency.

Every information related to corona infection has been given on the website of the Department of Health and Family Welfare in India. British citizens can take all information related to Corona on the website of NHS 111.

If the patient is having difficulty in breathing, then he can contact the Government of India helpline number + 91-11-23978046 or the 24 hour toll free number 1075. Various states of the country have also started helplines for citizens, where they can be called if needed.

At the same time, in case of emergency in the UK, people can contact on 999 number.
What happens in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?

Intensive care units are special wards of hospitals where critically ill patients are kept.

Here, the need of oxygen of corona virus patients is fulfilled by applying oxygen mask on the mouth or through a tube in the nose.

People who are seriously ill are kept on ventilator. Here, more supply of oxygen is directly delivered to the lungs. For this, a tube is placed in the patient's mouth or by making an incision in the nose or throat, oxygen is given from there to the lungs.

How deadly is the corona virus?
Compared to the statistics of corona virus infection, the number of people killed is extremely low. Although these figures cannot be relied on completely, but according to the data, the death rate due to infection can be only one to two percent.
Currently, treatment is being done for thousands of infected people in many countries and the death toll can also increase.

A study by the World Health Organization based on information gathered about 56,000 infected people shows that -
6% people became seriously ill due to this virus. These included lung failure, septic shock, organ failure and death risk.

Severe signs of infection were seen in 14 percent of the people. There were problems in breathing and problems like breathing quickly.
Minor signs of infection were seen in 80 percent of people, such as fever and cough. Pneumonia due to this was also seen in many.

Older people and those already suffering from respiratory disease (asthma) due to corona virus infection, those facing problems like diabetes and heart disease are more likely to become seriously ill.
Treatment of corona virus is based on helping the patient's body breathe and increasing the body's immunity so that the person's body is able to fight the virus itself.

The work of making corona virus vaccine is still going on.

If you come in contact with an infected person, you can be advised to stay away from others for a few days.
Public Health England has said that those who think they are infected should avoid going to a doctor, pharmacy or hospital and seek information on the phone or online from the health workers in their area.
