Answers

1. Answer : D

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses and belong to the Nidovirus family or Nidovirales order, which includes Coronaviridae, Arteriviridae, and Roniviridae families.

2. Answer: B
Coronaviruses are a large genera of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease is COVID-19.

3. Answer: D
Due to their crown-like projections on the surfaces coronaviruses got their name. The virus resembles a crown when viewed under an electron microscope. The word “Corona” is a Latin word which means “halo” or “crown”.

4. Answer : C
World Health Organisation (WHO) on 11 February, 2020 announced an official name for the disease that is caused by the novel coronavirus as COVID-19.

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

6. Answer: D
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don’t feel unwell.

7. Answer: D
Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air. People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets.

8. Answer: D
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

9. Answer: D
In any case, if you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing seek medical care early to reduce the risk of developing a more severe infection and be sure to share your recent travel history with your health care provider.

10. Answer: D
The Movement Control Order (MCO) is to prevent people from being infected by COVID-19 and the spread of this outbreak. Th incubation period of the virus is 14 days. The “incubation period” means 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, most commonly around five days.
 
Mali po ang answer ng #1 lods

Ang Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus Indiv. SARS-CoV 2 Wuhan-Hu-1 (italic kasi scientific name) ay ang virus na nagdudulot ng sakit na Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Ang SARS-CoV 2 ay sakop ng Coronaviridae family ng Nidovirales order, hindi ng Nidovirus family ng Nidovirales order.

Ang genus name ng SARS-CoV 2 ay Betacoronavirus, kawangis ng Homo sa tao.

Ang species name ng SARS-CoV 2 ay Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, kawangis ng sapiens sa tao.

Hindi po SARS-CoV 2 ang species name, dahil wala po itong masyadong genetic variability sa ibang mga coronavirus. Bagkos, ito ay binigyan ng individuum na SARS-CoV 2 Wuhan-Hu-1, o mas kilala sa common name na SARS-CoV 2.

Cheers! :)
