How dangerous is the covid
19- disease?
Although for most people COVID-19 causes only mild illness, it
can make some people very ill. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. Older
people, and those with pre- existing medical conditions (such as high blood
pressure, heart problems or diabetes) appear to be more vulnerable
The great majority of people with coronavirus 19 will have mild or moderate disease and will
make a full recovery within 2-4 weeks. But even if you are young and healthy -
meaning your risk of severe disease is low - it is not non-existent.
Can COVID-19 be
transmitted through feces or urine?
SARS-CoV-2 RNA has
also been detected in the other biological samples, including the urine and
feces of some patients. One study found viable SARS-CoV-2 in the urine of a one
patient. 3 studies have cultured SARS-CoV-2 from stool specimens. To date,
however, there have been no published reports of transmission of SARS-CoV-2
through feces or urine.
Is a smoker at a
higher risk of getting the COVID-19 virus than that a non-smoker?
, there are no
peer-reviewed studies that have evaluated the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection
associated with smoking. However, tobacco smokers (cigarettes, waterpipes,
bidis, cigars, heated tobacco products) may be more vulnerable to contracting
COVID-19, as the act of smoking involves contact of fingers (and possibly
contaminated cigarettes) with the lips, which increases the possibility of
transmission of viruses from hand to mouth. Smoking waterpipes, also known as
shisha or hookah, often involves the sharing of mouth pieces and hoses, which
could facilitate the transmission of the COVID-19 virus in communal and social
settings.

People who have
received a Covid-19 vaccine could still pass the virus on to others and should
continue following lockdown rules, England's deputy chief medical officer has
warned.
