Corona symptoms:
How do you know if I have corona or the flu?
3,584 corona patients are being treated today in the general community of Haifa district and Western Galilee.
Dr. Mohammad Khatib, Director of the General Corona Department Haifa District and Western Galilee, in an interview with Hai Pa - the professional and comprehensive news corporation in Haifa and the surrounding area on the subject of the Corona virus and the flu season.
What are the known ways of transmitting the virus, as of today?
There are three potential modes of transmission of the corona virus:
- I dropped - Particles emitted from the respiratory system when coughing, sneezing and talking.
- in touch - Contact with secretions from the respiratory tract or through different surfaces.
- airy - Fragments of the virus can remain in the air for a long time after the patient has left the space (there are evidences and studies that indicate this).
How long does it take from the moment of infection to the appearance of symptoms?
Usually, the incubation time of the virus is between 5-14 days. This is why we ask people who have been in contact with corona patients or have been exposed to corona patients to enter isolation for 14 days.
important to emphasize:
A person who is in isolation and performs a corona test whose result is negative, is still liable for the continuation of the isolation period, since sometimes the virus is present in the body, but does not manifest itself as a disease.
Which medicines can and are recommended to be used when suffering from mild symptoms of corona and which are recommended to be avoided?
The treatment of corona patients with mild symptoms such as: headache, muscle pain and fever, is to take regular pain relievers, some of which are even sold without a prescription. In any case, it is always recommended to consult a doctor regarding taking medication, and in case of more severe symptoms, you should immediately seek medical advice.
The flu season has started and it is coming this year in the shadow of the corona virus. Many symptoms of the flu are similar to those of the corona virus, how can you tell them apart?
Identification by symptoms:
We will divide the diseases of the fall and winter season into three groups: common cold, flu and corona.
Common cold symptoms:
Cold symptoms will appear gradually. They are characterized by normal fever, runny nose most of the time, and sore throat. With a cold, there will be less cough, less headache and less muscle pain. Also, there will be no damage to the sense of taste and smell and no problems with the digestive system, such as vomiting and diarrhea.
flu symptoms:
The symptoms of the flu appear sharply. The temperature, for example, rises suddenly. They are characterized by headaches, muscle pain, weakness, fatigue and cough. With the flu, you suffer less from a runny nose and do not lose your sense of taste and smell.
Corona symptoms:
The symptoms of the corona appear gradually: the fever can reach up to 39 degrees, the most common symptoms are: cough, difficulty breathing, muscle pain, headache, severe fatigue and weakness, loss of taste and smell and sometimes sore throat. Runny nose and sneezing are not common in corona.
How can the symptoms be differentiated?
After all, some of the symptoms are similar
Today, unlike the first wave, there are symptoms that we see and encounter a lot. In the second wave, we are witnessing more symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, severe fatigue, loss of sense of taste and smell, and anyone who has these symptoms will immediately be referred for a corona test.
How is the general prepared for this period?
The General is ready and prepared for this period, both in terms of informing the public, both in the readiness of the clinics and all the medical services provided through a digital service, with the aim of reducing visits to the clinic, with an emphasis on at-risk populations.
We initiate conversations and tests for the elderly population and patients with complex diseases, and provide information regarding the rules of proper behavior in winter.
It is important! – Flu vaccines
In the coming period, flu vaccines will be accepted in clinics and it is very important to come and get vaccinated, especially people in risk groups, the elderly, people with underlying diseases, pregnant women and children. The vaccine helps prevent complications of the disease and also reduces the burden on the health system of flu patients during the Corona period.
Can flu vaccines also help in the treatment of the corona disease?
There is no evidence that flu vaccines contribute to the treatment of corona, but certainly, people who receive a flu vaccine, their chance of contracting both diseases, will be slim.
Recommendations:
I call on the entire population to follow the instructions of the Ministry of Health: to wear a mask, to maintain social distance, and to observe hygiene.
I ask: those who suffer from symptoms - to stay at home!
During the winter (and at any time), I turn to people and ask: everyone who is suffering from symptoms - to stay at home. Do not come into contact with other people, and do not come to the workplace until the symptoms have passed.
The various horints are side effects of the vaccines. A variant is a virus that tries to bypass the vaccine.
Someone who has been vaccinated twice and has a cold and his sense of smell has disappeared, what does this mean?
Kudos to Dr. Hativ.
Message from the checkout:
For your attention❤️
Due to the economic situation and the increase in the price of tests, the urine test can be performed under a tree for free and the following results can be followed:
If ants have arrived then you have diabetes.
If flies then you have an infection.
If the grass dries out then you have a lot of salts.
If it smells like meat then you have a lot of cholesterol.
If you forgot to pick up your underwear then you have Alzheimer's.
And if you don't smell urine then you have corona.
*Your health is important to us*
Urgently needed in Haifa Municipality Hall is a young and energetic person who is able to be a "good omen" - both the speaker and the operator to include all the municipal handling of Corona + conveying messages in a clear and precise manner, presenting municipal operations to the public in a reliable and clear manner to all sectors, and also taking care of inspections in all neighborhoods without exception The rule is in coordination with the committees and clinics and not in the drive-in mess.
In short, an energetic and active coordinator and organizer at a high level who will make order in Haifa because the confusion is celebrating and will create a third and fourth wave of infection. In general, the spokesmen in the Haifa municipality are not functioning, a person is needed to speak, explain and make order
It is important to listen to the doctors.
My brother-in-law had the corona virus, the only symptoms he had were a cold and a bit of a sore throat, no fever or other symptoms.
Very confusing, probably hard to tell them apart. But why are there still no flu vaccines in Haifa, unlike the south or the center?
I wonder what the explanation is for the infections of medical staff in hospitals, are there any surveys? Is it recommended or not to go out in the open air?
Instructions are very very important.
It doesn't require what this Dahader writes, because when I have a cold I have both weakness and debt and no desire to eat, so what did I have a car from the age of 0?
What nonsense this doctor writes. Every year I have a cold, you sent her with a sore throat, then a runny nose, including loss of sense of taste and smell, usually for two to three days, and finally for a long time. So what the heck do I have corona?
I also lose my sense of taste and smell, every time I catch a cold
There are dozens if not hundreds of types of flu, how do you know if the flu vaccine is effective for the flu we had at all? Or that the vaccine we received helps.
