What we know of COVID-19 to date

The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and has caused millions of infections and over a million deaths across the world.  The disease is emerging and complications can be severe and fatal.

Some individuals may have the infection and show no symptoms however those who do  develop symptoms report :

• fever
• a new and continuous cough
• shortness of breath
• fatigue
• loss of appetite
• loss of smell

Other symptoms include sore throat, headache nasal congestion , diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.  Serious disease can lead to life threatening complications and even death.

Fewer than 5% of COVID-19 infection cases are amongst children and their symptoms seem to be milder than adults.

The virus is primarily spread through droplets expelled from the nose and mouth through coughing, sneezing or speaking or when people touch their eyes , nose or mouth following contact with contaminated objects and surfaces.

The COVID-19 vaccination programme

The aim of the vaccination programme is to protect those at highest risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19

Scientists across the world have worked together to develop vaccines which have been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy.

The Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is the first to be licenced in the UK and it is currently being administered to those at highest risk.
