COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus, first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, exhaustion and dry cough. Some patients can experience pain, nasal congestion, runny nose, a sore throat or diarrhoea. These symptoms are generally mild and kick in gradually. Some people are infected but have no symptoms and don’t feel ill. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing any special treatment. One in every six people with COVID-19 falls seriously ill and develops breathing difficulties. Old people and those with other health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes, are the most likely to develop serious symptoms. People with fever, cough and breathing difficulties need medical care.

The first human cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, subsequently named SARS-CoV-2 were first reported by officials in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019. Retrospective investigations by Chinese authorities have identified human cases with onset of symptoms in early December 2019. While some of the earliest known cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, some did not. Many of the initial patients were either stall owners, market employees, or regular visitors to this market. Environmental samples taken from this market in December 2019 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, further suggesting that the market in Wuhan City was the source of this outbreak or played a role in the initial amplification of the outbreak. The market was closed on 1 January 2020.
