Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause disease in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The recently discovered coronavirus causes the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

(www.who.int, as of 03/18/2020)

COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

(www.who.int, as of 03/18/2020)

The most common are fever, cough and difficulty breathing. These symptoms can vary in severity. Complications such as pneumonia are also possible. Some sufferers also have problems with digestion or the eyes (conjunctivitis).

(www.bag.admin.ch; as of 03/18/2020)

On the MiSANTO app, any citizen can easily and free of charge check if they belong to the risk group by going through the automated self-triage system "Do I have coronavirus?".

Illnesses with the new coronavirus can take different courses. Some people have only mild symptoms or hardly notice that they are ill. Others need intensive treatment in hospital.

(www.bag.admin.ch; as of 18.03.2020) In case of symptoms of illness, you must stay at home so that you do not infect anyone. By symptoms of illness we mean:- fever (body temperature is higher than 38°C accompanied by feeling of tiredness, sometimes with muscle pain)- cough is dry, may be accompanied by sore throat(www.bag.admin.ch; as of 18.03.2020)

If the automated self-triage system "Do I have coronavirus?" reveals that you belong to the risk group, you can request and perform the MiSANTO self-smear test at home for a fee. The test is performed in professional laboratories and the result is available within 48 hours.

Medical advice is available day and night via chat with a doctor from MiSANTO's own SWISS TELEHEALTH CENTER. The chats, which are limited to a maximum of 20 minutes and concern the coronavirus, are free of charge for the operator.

The test is a swab of the throat, which is then evaluated for the virus.

It is currently assumed that it can take 1 to 14 days after infection for signs of the disease to appear. On average, this so-called incubation period is 5 to 6 days.

The local origin of the coronavirus epidemic in China is probably a market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan. In addition to fish, bats, snakes and other wild animals were also traded there. The virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Since then, the virus has been transmitted from person to person. The Chinese authorities have closed the market.

(www.bag.admin.ch; as of 03/18/2020)

In the meantime, numerous countries worldwide are affected. The WHO compiles the worldwide cases here.
