What is Coronavirus?

It’s a new strain of virus that hasn’t been previously identified in humans. It was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, where it caused a large and ongoing outbreak. It has since spread more widely in China and has been identified in many other countries, including Australia.

How is it spread?

COVID-19 is spread from an infected person through contaminated droplets dispersed by coughing or sneezing, or by contact with contaminated hands, surfaces or objects.

The time between when a person is exposed to the virus, and when symptoms first appear, is typically five (5) to six (6) days, although this may range from two (2) to fourteen (14) days. For this reason, people who have been in contact with a confirmed case are being asked to self-isolate for 14 days. Most COVID-19 cases appear to be spread from people who have symptoms. A small number of people may have been infectious before their symptoms developed.
