The current outbreak of coronavirus, coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19, is caused by a novel strain known as SARS-CoV-2. The first cases of COVID-19 were identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. How does it spread?

Frequently asked questions Q: Can someone who has had COVID-19 spread the illness to others? A: The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading mainly from person-to-person. Someone who is actively ill with COVID-19 can spread the illness to others. Q: Are antibiotics effective in preventing or treating the COVID-19? A: No. Since COVID-19 is caused by a virus, antibiotics, which work only against bacterial infections, are not effective either to prevent or treat COVID-19. Q: Should I wear a mask to protect myself? A: People with no respiratory symptoms, such as cough, do not need to wear a medical mask. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of masks only for people who have symptoms of COVID-19, and for those caring for them. The use of masks is essential for health workers and carers. Q: How long is the incubation period for COVID-19? A: The ‘incubation period’ is the time between catching the virus and beginning to have symptoms of the disease. Most estimates of the incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1–14 days, and typically around five days. These estimates will be revised as more data become available.
