Kungani kumele sinciphise ukubhebhetheka kwegciwane leKholona ngokushesha

A fact sheet published by WWF South Africa on April 1, 2020, providing public health guidance and preventative measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 (referred to as 'iKholona') in South Africa.

• Covid-19 is described as a new virus that attacks the respiratory system, originating in China in January 2019 and spreading to over 100 countries, including South Africa. The World Health Organisation designated it a pandemic because it spreads rapidly and affects the entire world.
• High-risk groups for infection and severe illness include the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, healthcare workers, and individuals with pre-existing conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, diabetes, and heart disease.
• The virus spreads through droplets from the mouth or nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Preventative measures include staying home, maintaining a distance of approximately two meters from others, washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using a hand sanitiser with 70% alcohol, and avoiding touching the eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Medical guidance suggests using paracetamol (Panado) for fever but warns against using ibuprofen as it may worsen the condition. For testing and official advice in South Africa, the document directs users to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases or a specific hotline (0800 029 999).
