Questions and answers about coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
Is there a vaccine, medicine, or treatment for COVID-19?
Not yet.
To date, there is no specific vaccine or antiviral medication to prevent or treat COVID-2019.
However, those affected must receive health care to relieve symptoms.
People with severe cases of the disease should be hospitalized.
Most patients recover with the help of support measures.
Possible vaccines and different specific pharmacological treatments are being investigated.
There are ongoing clinical trials to test them.
WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and drugs to prevent and treat COVID-19.
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 are: wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth with your elbow or tissue when you cough, and keep a distance of at least 1 meter ( 3 feet) with people who cough or sneeze.
(See What can I do to protect myself and prevent the spread of the disease?)
Are COVID-19 and SARS the same?
No. The genome of the virus that causes COVID-19 and that of those responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are similar, but not the same.
SARS is more deadly but much less infectious than COVID-19.
Since 2003, there have been no SARS outbreaks anywhere in the world.
Should I wear a mask to protect myself?
If the characteristic respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 do not appear (especially cough) or if you do not take care of a person who may have contracted this disease, it is not necessary to wear a clinical mask.
Remember that disposable masks can only be used once and also keep in mind that if you are not ill or do not take care of someone who is, you are wasting a mask.
The world's stock of face masks is depleting, and WHO urges that they be used sensibly.
The WHO advises the rational use of clinical masks so as not to unnecessarily waste or misuse valuable utensils (see section When and how to use a mask).
The most effective measures against COVID-19 to protect yourself and others are: wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth with your elbow or with a tissue when coughing, and keep a distance of at least 1 meter (3 feet) with people who cough or sneeze.
