Viral Infections

Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread globally, leading to a pandemic. Symptoms of coronavirus include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, and it can be transmitted through close contact with infected individuals or exposure to respiratory droplets.

Viral gastroenteritis, often referred to as the "stomach flu," is a common intestinal infection caused by viruses, resulting in inflammation of the stomach and intestines. The condition is characterised by symptoms such as watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and occasionally fever. Viral gastroenteritis is not related to influenza, which primarily affects the respiratory system.
