Understanding COVID-19

As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding the virus and its impact on health and wellness has become paramount. Nasseri Medical Centre & Medspa is dedicated to providing our valued patients and community members with comprehensive information about COVID-19.

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus disease 2019, is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It originated in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread worldwide, leading to a global pandemic. The virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected individual coughs, sneezes, or talks.

Signs and Symptoms

The symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild to severe and may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Common symptoms include:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Prevention and Safety Measures

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is essential to follow recommended safety measures:

  1. Wear a face mask in public settings
  2. Maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others
  3. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  4. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available
  5. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing
  6. Clean and disinfect frequently-touched objects and surfaces regularly

COVID-19 Testing and Treatment

If you suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms, it is crucial to get tested. Nasseri Medical Centre & Medspa offers reliable and prompt COVID-19 testing services. Our highly trained healthcare professionals will guide you through the testing process and provide appropriate guidance based on your test results.

If diagnosed with COVID-19, it is essential to follow self-isolation guidelines and monitor your symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required. However, most individuals with mild to moderate symptoms can recover at home with proper care, rest, and symptom management. Our medical experts can provide telemedicine consultations to assist you during your recovery.
