These figures use government case data and indicate how reinfection rates have changed over time – but because of the narrow definition of a case – will underestimate the actual rate of reinfection.

Mortality rates are highly correlated to age, with relatively low rates for young people and relatively high rates among the elderly. Mice, rats, and rabbits, if they can be infected at all, are unlikely to be involved in spreading the virus.Chest CT scans may be helpful to diagnose COVID‑19 in individuals with a high clinical suspicion of infection but are not recommended for routine screening. A high incidence of thrombosis and venous thromboembolism occurs in people transferred to intensive care units with COVID‑19 infections, and may be related to poor prognosis. in the European study died, but the actual mortality rate may be "substantially lower" since milder cases that did not seek medical help were not included in the study. Since SARS-CoV-2 has been in the human population only since December 2019, it remains unknown if the immunity is long-lasting in people who recover from the disease.

Covid in the UK: cases, deaths and vaccinations – the latest

In 2020, outbreaks occurred in prisons due to crowding and an inability to enforce adequate social distancing. Most people feel better within a few days or weeks of their first COVID-19 symptoms and make a full recovery within 12 weeks.

Those who may have been exposed to someone with COVID‑19 and those who have recently travelled to a country or region with the widespread transmission have been advised to self-quarantine for 14 days from the time of last possible exposure. In early and mid-January 2020, the virus spread to other Chinese provinces, helped by the Chinese New Year migration and Wuhan being a transport hub and major rail interchange.

In the US, a greater proportion of deaths due to COVID‑19 have occurred among African Americans and other minority groups. Among healthy adults not exposed to SARS-CoV-2, about 35% have CD4 + T cells that recognise the SARS-CoV-2 S protein (particularly the S2 subunit) and about 50% react to other proteins of the virus, suggesting cross-reactivity from previous common colds caused by other coronaviruses. The presence of neutralising antibodies in blood strongly correlates with protection from infection, but the level of neutralising antibody declines with time. Masks vary in how well they work, with N95 and surgical masks outperforming cloth masks, [225] but even cloth masks, with their variability in fabric type and mask fit, provide wearers with substantial protection from particles carrying COVID-19.By 26 March the United States had overtaken China and Italy with the highest number of confirmed cases in the world. If the droplets are above a certain critical size, they settle faster than they evaporate, and therefore they contaminate surfaces surrounding them. By May 2020 [ In fact, many other genes and genetic variants have been found that determine the outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections. COVID‑19 can provisionally be diagnosed on the basis of symptoms and confirmed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or other nucleic acid testing of infected secretions.
