Let’s recall back on the history of COVID-19.
Do you know that COVID-19 was one of the pandemics that changed the world’s history?
As human civilization rose, this disease has struck the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a wake-up call for a myriad of people not only in Malaysia but globally as well. Many have called the pandemic as a “Black Swan” which signifies unpredictable and an extremely rare event that is beyond what is normally expected with severe potential consequences.
On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 virus was officially known as a pandemic. Until now, the spread isn’t anywhere near finished.
COVID-19 is an infectious disease and a type of virus known to cause respiratory infections in humans. This new strain was founded in Wuhan, China before December 2019 when an outbreak of a pneumonia of unidentified cause emerged. Similar to SARS, it spreads through droplets from sneezes.
Common Symptoms of COVID-19
These are the most common symptoms of COVID-19. You should be alert with these symptoms and take immediate action if you are experiencing them. Best to proceed to the nearest hospital to get yourself tested.
Check out on the table below to take note of the symptoms of COVID-19:
