What is COVID-19(Coronavirus)?
While the recent outbreak of COVID-19 continues to threat global health and economy, experts' greatest concern is the "twindemic." A twindemic is the possibility of a severe flu season coinciding with a surge in COVID-19 cases. The symptoms of influenza and COVID-19 are similar and can jeopardize public health system. Both viruses primarily cause respiratory symptoms, which can be a wide range of diseases ranging from asymptomatic or mild symptoms to serious illness and death. It is important to quickly identify COVID-19 infection because the medical system is likely to be overloaded and misdiagnosis of the disease can lead to confusion in treatment and further spread of the disease.
