COVID-19Tauti (is the Finnish name for the disease) is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The illness has spread globally, resulting in widespread illness and death.

The first known cases of COVID-19 were reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China in December 2019. From there, it spread rapidly across the world, with the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on January 30, 2020. COVID-19 is characterized by symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, and pneumonia.

The spread of COVID-19 has been attributed to several factors, including close person-to-person contact, touching surfaces contaminated with the virus, and contact with someone who has the disease. Complications of COVID-19 can range from mild flu-like symptoms to life-threatening respiratory failure.

The largest source of information for this article is the World Health Organization and other international health authorities. They advise the public on measures to slow the spread of the disease. There is currently ongoing research on a vaccine for COVID-19.

According to the World Health Organization, we can prevent the disease by following fundamental hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette practices. In addition to general hand hygiene recommendations, people should avoid touching the mouth, nose and eyes.

Healthcare workers face a higher risk of exposure. Researchers and healthcare personnel who can speak Finnish for this particular disease name are working to understand the virus and develop life-saving treatments.
