MERS virus new risk for world cup fans in Qatar!!!
The risk of transmitting the MERS virus has grown with the conclusion of the FIFA world cup in Qatar. A respiratory condition is MERS, or Middle east Respiratory Syndrome. It resembles illnesses brought on by viral infections, which were initially discovered in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. It spreads as a result of the MERS-CoV virus. Serious Acute Respiratory Syndrome is brought on by this virus (SARS).
MERS is spread by coming in contact with an infected person
Actually, sitting next to an infected individual or otherwise coming into contact with him allows the MERS infection to spread. Typically, respiratory secretions like saliva or mucus cannot spread it quickly. A person can readily become infected by this virus by coming into contact with a patient who has it, but there is little concern about it dispersing through the air.
These are the symptoms of MERS
Mild to high fevers are possible MERS virus symptoms. These primarily consist of fever, wheezing, coughing, body aches and stiffness, exhaustion, and diarrhoea. If you see any of these signs, take them seriously. Because of this, it may eventually manifest as lethal infections including pneumonia and extremely severe physical weakness. A person who is already ill is also at danger of passing away.
There is presently no known cure or vaccination to protect against MERS. To prevent its infection, caution is crucial. For instance, appropriately covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and occasionally washing your hands. Keep a little space between you and the other person if they are experiencing the same issue.
