What is the new coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a wide family of viruses that normally affect only animals.
Some have the ability to transmit from animals to people.
The new SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus is a new type of coronavirus that can affect people and was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.
There are still many unknown issues regarding the disease that Covid-19 produces.
How is the new coronavirus transmitted?
Transmission appears to be through close contact with respiratory secretions generated by a sick person's cough or sneeze.
Its contagiousness depends on the amount of the virus in the airways.
These secretions would infect another person if they come in contact with their nose, eyes, or mouth.
Transmission by air over distances greater than 1-2 meters seems unlikely.
What are the most vulnerable groups?
The most vulnerable groups are people over 60 years of age and those with high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic cardiovascular and / or lung diseases, cancer and / or immunity deficit.
Pregnant women are also included, due to the precautionary principle.
