What is Coronavirus (MERC-CoV)? 
Read this definition:
 

   
​Coronaviruses are a category of viruses that can cause colds, and in some cases can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Almost cases of the coronavirus (MERC-CoV)
 virus infections have most common symptoms including high temperatures, body aches, pharyngitis, running nose and cough. In most circumstances, these symptoms last for days and then go away.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) Saudia Arabia is doing work alongside with the World Health Organization (WHO) to discover more about the pathology of the coronavirus (MERC-CoV)


    Why is this virus dangerous?


   
There is still limited data about the features and mode of transmission of coronavirus (MERC-CoV), the Ministry of Health is coordinating with the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as a number of international experts.


    How spread out is the virus within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
   
Since its emergence, coronavirus (MERC-CoV) cases have been discovered in a number of areas across the Kingdom.

 
    How does someone get infected with the virus?
   
There is an assumption by the medical community that this strain of coronavirus (MERC-CoV) is transmitted similarly to alternate strains which includes:


    Direct transmission through droplets booted out on coughings and sneezings.
    Indirect transmission through touching surfaces and devices contaminated with the coronavirus (MERC-CoV), and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes.
    Direct contact with patients or infected animals or animal products.


    Is the virus airborne?

The current medical consensus and evidence suggests that this is not the case.


    How can I protect myself from infection?

   




While there is still limited information about the features and transmission of coronavirus (MERC-CoV)
Medical consensus recommends that citizens, residents and visitors observe general health guidelines to control the spread of all infectious respiratory diseases including coronavirus (MERC-CoV)
 by observing the following guidelines:

    Wash your hands well and continually with water and soap or with other antimicrobials, especially after coughing, sneezing and using toilettes.

.

    Is coronavirus (MERC-CoV) the same as SARS?
   

Novel coronavirus (MERC-CoV) varies clearly in terms of its genetic aspect than the coronavirus (MERC-CoV) causing (SARS). Examinations of infected patient are currently being undertaken and a clearer picture emerge after this research is complete.

     Is this an epidemic?
   

According to the World Health Organization, there's no epidemic at this time, but the Ministry of Health is taking all the cautions and other necessary actions to reduce the risk of the virus spreading and working with international organizations such as the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control.


    How are new cases of coronavirus (MERC-CoV) being diagnosed?
   
 The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted a temporary definition for cases of coronavirus (MERC-CoV) infected (case definition) with the virus, toconfirm diagnosis and treatment options available to the medical professionals treating this cases (coronavirus (MERC-CoV)
 around the world.

This definition will be updated when more information becomes accessible. The current definition includes criteria for the diagnosing of patients based on patient examination, possibility of being infected with the coronavirus (MERC-CoV), and confirmation of his infection. These criteria are established on clinical and epidemiological and laboratory information.


    What procedures are being taken with suspected cases of infection?
   

Isolation measures are being immediately taken once a case is confirmed.

    How spread out is the virus throughout the world?
   

Cases have been accounted in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The World Health Organisation and other international entities are working to monitor the situation and share all the latest best-practice guidelines and clinical findings to enable the global medical community to deal with cases.


    Is there a vaccine?
   

There is no vaccine currently available worldwide.
    Is there a treatment or cure? How are patients being treated now?
   
There is no available vaccine or treatment, just symptomatic  treatment and Tamiflu

    How many people are carriers?
  
Our investigations indicate that people who have been exposed to infected individuals can be infected as well without showing any symptoms. When 280 people who were exposed to infected individuals were tested, only 9 tested positive for carrying the virus and none of them had any symptoms.


    Is it necessary to start screening everybody who has symptoms of a cold or flu?


   

At the actual time, there's no need to start screening all patients who have cold or flu-like symptoms, but the expert group of scientists and medical experts has agreed to modify the criteria for people who should be tested and make it wider, as an added preventative measurement.


    Has the World Health Organization recommended any travel or trade restrictions anywhere in the world?
   

The World Health Organization hasn't recommend any travel or trade limitations are introduced as a result of coronavirus (MERC-CoV)
