A coronavirus emerges from Wuhan, China, spread quickly to the man and animals. It is a SARS-coV-2 and causes a respiratory disease called a Covid-19.
The symptoms of people with coronavirus appear 2 to 14 days after exposure. These symptoms are mostly mild and are usually ignored. Although some people are infected, they do not show any symptoms.
If you’ve been exposed to people with COVID-19 or begin to experience symptoms of the COVID-19, you are also asked to self-quarantine. What does that cause, and what can you do to prepare yourself for an extensive stay at home? How quickly after you’re infected will you start to be contagious?
I have already shared a post related to this topic First Symptoms Of Covid-19 I hope you read this post.

First, call your doctor for advice.
Contact your local health board if you don’t have a doctor and are concerned that you or your child may have COVID-19. They can guide you to the best place for treatment in your area.
If you have a high or low body temperature, shortness of breath, you need to seek prompt medical evaluation. But, first, call the emergency center, so the staff knows that you are coming, and they prepared before you arrive.

How can i know if i have COVID-19 or the regular flu?
COVID-19 causes symptoms that are similar to those a person with the flu would experience. The flu symptoms can grow and become life-threatening for people.
Accordingly, at the current time, people with “flulike” symptoms should think they have COVID. That means separating and contacting a doctor or local health to arrange to test.
I also wrote a tutorial on Is The Flu A Coronavirus Type? that you can follow.
I spent time with those who tested positive for COVID-19. I'm entirely vaccinated, do I need to get tested?
Yes, you have to do that. In July 2021, the CDC suggested that anyone fully vaccinated and comes into contact with someone suspected of having COVID-19 should get tested 3 to 5 days after illness. In addition, you have to wear a mask in public places until you receive a negative test result. If you are vaccinated, you don’t need to quarantine, but isolate if you develop symptoms or positive test results.

How people tested for COVID-19?
Must do a specific diagnostic test to confirm that a person has a positive coronavirus infection. A clinician usually takes a swab of your nose (your nose and throat). Some tests were done using a saliva sample. The sample is then examined for the virus’s genetic material (PCR test) or antigen test.
I also wrote an article on What Is A Covid PCR Test also you can read.
How does coronavirus spread?
This virus spreads by keeping close to people already suffering from this disease. This virus enters the body when the patient of this disease, touching his eyes or nose or mouth, contact the place or object of droplets from coughing or sneezing. Inhaling these droplets can also become a victim of this virus. Therefore, should maintain a distance of 1 meter from people affected by this disease.
