Coronavirus Campaign in the Medical Center
With the collaboration of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Social Program Services, Public Relations in the Department of Medical Services held an awareness campaign on Coronavirus in the Medical Center Some awareness brochures about the virus were distributed to the attendees in addition to banners spread along the way in the corridors of the Medical Center. Moreover, a full presentation was given on the some of the major preventive procedures from the disease. What are the early symptoms of coronavirus? The early typical symptoms of coronavirus might include a sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat; this might also be accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, renal and hepatic impairment as well as internal and external bleeding. How infections of Coronavirus occur? Infection can occur when one coronavirus-infected person comes in a close proximity with a non- infected person; this takes effect when the non-infected person takes no preventive action (see preventive health care). Who are the most vulnerable people to coronavirus? Healthcare workers and members of families or those who are in a prolonged contact with infected people are highly likely to be infected with this disease. How to treat people infected with coronavirus? Coronavirus- infected people need an intensive care. Often those suffering from dehydration require intravenous injection fluids or oral rehydration solutions containing electrolytes. So far, there is no full- recovery treatment from this disease. However, some patients could be cured when they receive the appropriate health care. Preventive health care for Coronavirus: Wash your hands carefully with water and soap and other hand disinfectants, especially after coughing or sneezing, before and after preparing food and when being in contact with the infected people or their personal properties. Avoid visiting places in which the disease has already spread. Best regards, Department of Medical Services
