Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

The virus has the ability to spread during close contact by small droplets produced when the infected person(s) cough, sneeze or talk. A contaminated surface touched can lead to the infection as hands could accidentally transfer the virus to the face. Coronavirus can remain and survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours, and the first 3 days after symptoms appear are the most contagious period, although there is also a possibility of spreading before seeing the symptoms as well as in the later stages of the disease.

Symptoms that can be observed ranging from 2 to 14 days after exposure are:
· Fever
· Cough
· Runny nose
· Sore throat
· Tiredness
· Difficulty breathing

RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction) detection can be assessed by taking a known amount of virus to check for the results. This is done by performing nasopharyngeal swabs on patients. Samples of nasal and throat secretions will be collected and sent to test. The process takes less than 10 mins and the results will be out by the next day max at 6:00PM.
