Esto es lo que debes saber sobre el coronavirus<\/h2>

Se trata de un virus que provoca una enfermedad respiratoria y que se detect\u00f3 por primera vez en China. Actualmente se ha detectado en 60 lugares de todo el mundo, incluidos los Estados Unidos. Los coronavirus constituyen una amplia familia de virus que son comunes en las personas y en muchas especies diferentes de animales, entre ellos los camellos, el ganado, los gatos y los murci\u00e9lagos. En raras ocasiones, los coronavirus de origen animal pueden infectar a las personas y propagarse posteriormente entre ellas, como ocurri\u00f3 con el MERS-CoV, el SARS-CoV y, ahora, con este nuevo virus (denominado SARS-CoV-2). Estos tres virus tienen su origen en los murci\u00e9lagos. Muchos de los pacientes del epicentro del brote en Wuhan, provincia de Hubei (China), ten\u00edan alg\u00fan v\u00ednculo con un gran mercado de marisco y animales vivos, lo que sugiere una transmisi\u00f3n de animales a personas. Sin embargo, seg\u00fan los informes, un n\u00famero cada vez mayor de pacientes no hab\u00eda estado expuesto a mercados de animales, lo que indica una transmisi\u00f3n de persona a persona. El virus SARS-CoV-2 causa la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).<\/p>

\u00bfC\u00f3mo se transmite?<\/h3>

Contagio de persona a persona<\/strong><\/p>

  • Se cree que el virus se transmite principalmente de persona a persona.<\/li>
  • Entre personas que est\u00e1n en contacto cercano entre s\u00ed (a unos 6 pies de distancia).<\/li>
  • A trav\u00e9s de las got\u00edculas respiratorias que se producen cuando una persona infectada tose o estornuda. Estas got\u00edculas pueden depositarse en la boca o la nariz de las personas que se encuentran cerca o, posiblemente, ser inhaladas hasta llegar a los pulmones.<\/li><\/ul>

    Se transmite al entrar en contacto con superficies u objetos infectados<\/h3>

    Es posible que una persona contraiga la COVID-19 al tocar una superficie u objeto que contenga el virus y, a continuaci\u00f3n, tocarse la boca, la nariz o, posiblemente, los ojos, pero no se cree que esta sea la principal v\u00eda de propagaci\u00f3n del virus.<\/strong><\/p>

    \u00bfPuedo contagiar el virus sin estar enfermo?<\/h3>
    • Se cree que las personas son el m\u00e1s contagioso<\/strong> cuando presentan m\u00e1s s\u00edntomas (cuando est\u00e1n m\u00e1s enfermos).<\/li>
    • Es posible que se produzca cierta transmisi\u00f3n antes de que las personas presenten s\u00edntomas; se han registrado casos de este tipo con este nuevo coronavirus, pero no se cree que sea la principal v\u00eda de transmisi\u00f3n del virus.<\/li><\/ul>

      \u00bfCu\u00e1les son los s\u00edntomas?<\/h3>

      Los casos notificados de la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) confirmados han presentado desde s\u00edntomas leves hasta enfermedades graves y fallecimientos.<\/p>

      Los s\u00edntomas pueden aparecer entre 2 y 14 d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la exposici\u00f3n:<\/h3>
      • Fiebre<\/li>
      • Tos<\/li>
      • Dificultad para respirar<\/li><\/ul>

        \u00bfDe qu\u00e9 formas se puede prevenir el contagio de la COVID-19?<\/h3>

        Actualmente no existe ninguna vacuna para prevenir la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). La mejor forma de prevenir la enfermedad es evitar la exposici\u00f3n a este virus. No obstante, a modo de recordatorio, los CDC recomiendan siempre adoptar medidas preventivas cotidianas para ayudar a evitar la propagaci\u00f3n de enfermedades respiratorias, entre las que se incluyen:<\/p>

        • Evita el contacto cercano con personas enfermas.<\/li>
        • Evita tocarte los ojos, la nariz y la boca.<\/li>
        • Qu\u00e9date en casa si est\u00e1s enfermo.<\/li>
        • C\u00fabrete la boca con un pa\u00f1uelo de papel al toser o estornudar y, a continuaci\u00f3n, t\u00edralo a la basura.<\/li>
        • Limpia y desinfecta los objetos y superficies que se tocan con frecuencia utilizando un spray o una toallita de limpieza dom\u00e9stica habitual.<\/li><\/ul>

          Sigue las recomendaciones de los CDC sobre el uso de mascarillas.<\/strong><\/p>

          • Las personas que presenten s\u00edntomas de COVID-19 deben utilizar mascarillas para ayudar a prevenir la propagaci\u00f3n de la enfermedad a otras personas. El uso de mascarillas tambi\u00e9n es fundamental para el personal sanitario y para quienes cuidan de alguien en entornos de contacto cercano (en casa o en un centro sanitario).<\/li>
          • L\u00e1vate las manos a menudo con agua y jab\u00f3n durante al menos 20 segundos, sobre todo despu\u00e9s de ir al ba\u00f1o; antes de comer; y despu\u00e9s de sonarte la nariz, toser o estornudar.<\/li>
          • Si no se dispone de agua y jab\u00f3n, utiliza un desinfectante de manos a base de alcohol con una concentraci\u00f3n m\u00ednima del 60% de alcohol. L\u00e1vate siempre las manos con agua y jab\u00f3n si est\u00e1n visiblemente sucias.<\/li><\/ul>
