1. Anosmia (loss of smell) is a symptom.
2. SARS-CoV-2 binds tightly to human cells. The new coronavirus is so hard to stop because SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) binds 10 to 20 times more tightly to human cells than SARS-CoV (the virus responsible for SARS).
3. Coronavirus can make babies seriously ill. Compared to adults, children appear much less likely to get sick if they contract the novel coronavirus. However, the very young (less than 1 year) appear to be more vulnerable to serious illness than older children.
4. Researchers have found that the virus can live up to 24 hours on cardboard and 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel. The CDC reports that the virus was detected on surfaces of the Diamond Princess cruise ship up to 17 days after passengers disembarked. However, only pieces of the virus were detectable, not viruses capable of infecting a person.
5. You may already know this, but people who don't have symptoms can spread the virus too.
6. People with type A blood may be more susceptible to infection.
7. Contrary to popular belief, you can catch COVID-19 no matter how sunny and warm it is. So, whatever the weather you should follow the official advice to protect yourself from the virus. Getting out into the sunshine, if you can, is still a good idea as this helps your body produce vitamin D which is important for your immune system.
8. Some people with COVID-19 have digestive symptoms.
9. Reinfection may be possible.
10. At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.
