3. INTRODUCTION
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious
disease caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The
disease was first identified in December 2019
in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and
has since spread globally, resulting in the
ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
The first confirmed case of what was then an
unknown coronavirus was traced back to November
2019 in Hubei.

4. CAUSE
• Severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
It is the virus strain that causes coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19), a respiratory illness. It is colloquially
known as the coronavirus, and was previously referred to by
its provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

5. MORTALITY RATE
ACCORDING TO WHO

6. MODE OF TRANSMISSION
1. DIRECT/CLOSE CONTACT – touching & shaking hands with a
person who has the virus can pass it between individuals.
2. DROPLET (AIR BORNE) – coughing & sneezing without covering
the mouth
3. FOMITES BORNE – making contact with a surface or object that
has the virus and then touching the nose, eyes, or mouth can
spread it

7. INCUBATION PERIOD
The incubation period of the virus is the time
between the exposure and the display of
symptoms. Current information suggests that
the incubation period ranges from 1 to 12.5 days
(with median estimates of 5 to 6 days), but can
be as long as 14 days
