  • origins

    November 17, 2019 would be the date of the world's first case of the new coronavirus and Patient Zero would be a 55-year-old from Wuhan, China. And from there, what we all already know. The spread of the disease nowadays reaches the infection of almost the entire planet.

  • how spread the Covid 19

    A person can get COVID-19 from contact with someone who is infected with the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through droplets from the nose or mouth that are thrown out when an infected person coughs or exhales. These droplets fall on objects and surfaces around the person, so other people can get COVID-19 if they touch these objects or surfaces and then touch their eyes, nose, or mouth.

  • how we are right now

    México, donde el número de contagios ha escalado a 9.501 y la cifra de muertos a 857, entró en la fase más crítica de la epidemia. El Gobierno ha anunciado este miércoles que reducirá el gasto público y los salarios más altos para hacer frente a la crisis. Ecuador suma ya 10.398 diagnósticos positivos y reconoce 520 fallecimientos, pero esa cifra asciende a más de 1.400 si se suman los pacientes que murieron por la covid-19 como causa probable.

  • we can be contamined by animals ?

    Coronaviruses are an extensive family of viruses that are common among bats and other animals. Rarely, people become infected with these viruses, which can then spread to others. For example, SARS-CoV was associated with civets and MERS-CoV is transmitted through dromedaries. The possible animal origin of COVID-19 has not yet been confirmed.

  • do we have vacuna for coravirus?

    Not yet. To date, there is no specific vaccine or antiviral medication to prevent or treat COVID-2019. However, those affected must receive health care to relieve symptoms.

  • How long is the COVID-19 incubation period?

    The "incubation period" is the time between infection with the virus and the onset of symptoms of the disease. Most estimates for the COVID-19 incubation period range from 1 to 14 days, and are generally around five days. These estimates will be updated as more data becomes available.
