The hazards of novel coronavirus are as follows:
1, the first hazard of novel coronavirus lies in infectivity. This virus is highly contagious and can spread from person to person. If the infected people are not isolated in the early stage and corresponding protective measures are not taken, it will easily lead to the spread or even outbreak of the epidemic and significantly increase the number of patients. In addition, the current outbreak of foreign epidemics has greatly increased the number of imported cases abroad;
2. Secondly, when infected with novel coronavirus, it can cause corresponding damage to the body, such as the formation of new pneumonia, and some severe patients may have multiple organ dysfunction. Patients often have symptoms such as dry cough, fever and fatigue, and some patients may also have clinical manifestations such as sore throat, muscle aches and diarrhea. A few critically ill patients have poor prognosis and may be life-threatening.
