 What is COVID-19?

COVID-19, officially known as Coronavirus Disease 2019, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

The virus is constantly mutating, creating new variants. The CDC continues to monitor and track new variants as they emerge. The most predominant variant is the JN.1, a variant of Omicron derived from BA.2.86. JN. 1 currently accounts for over 85% of COVID-19.

COVID-19 Treatment

How Does it Transmit?

The primary transmission mode is through respiratory droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.

Additionally, the virus can exploit poorly ventilated and crowded indoor spaces as an avenue for transmission. In these environments, aerosols—tiny respiratory particles—can linger in the air. This phenomenon, often termed long-range aerosol or airborne transmission, increases the risk of exposure beyond typical conversational distances.

People may also contract the virus when touching contaminated objects or surfaces and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth after.

Who is at Risk?

Some populations, such as older adults and those with underlying health conditions or weakened immune systems, are more susceptible. However, it’s important to remember that the virus can infect anyone regardless of age or general health.

How it Can be Prevented

Effective prevention measures include:

  • Proper hand hygiene – frequently washing your hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer
  • Social distancing – stand at least 6 feet away from others
  • Wearing a face mask in crowded places or those with poor ventilation

COVID-19 vaccines can help prevent severe disease, especially in high-risk populations.

How is it Diagnosed?

Accurate and timely diagnosis is pivotal in managing the spread of COVID-19.  Various diagnostic methods are employed, primarily focusing on detecting current infections and identifying previous exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including:

  • Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT): NAATs, such as the reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) test, are the gold standard for diagnosing current COVID-19 infections. RT-PCR testing is highly sensitive and specific, providing conclusive evidence of an ongoing infection.
  • Antigen Testing: Antigen tests detect viral proteins (antigens) present in the body. While generally less sensitive than NAATs, antigen tests are more affordable and provide rapid results (approximately 15 minutes).

Treatment

Treatment options range from supportive care to antiviral medications.  Supreme Care ER provides comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
