Symptoms of corona appear in the patient not in five but in eight days

Beijing, Ta. Saturday, August 8, 2020

The duration of symptoms after being infected with the corona virus can be as long as eight days, not four to five days, a new study has found. The study, published in the journal Science Advances, said people who left the city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus spread, were identified and closely monitored until corona symptoms began to appear.

Chong Yu, a scientist at Peking University in China, said the current estimate that corona virus symptoms occur four to five days after infection was based on limited data and a small number of sample sizes. While in the current study 1084 patients of Corona were contacted who are residents of Wuhan and their travel details are available.

The study found that the median time to onset of infection was 7.75 days, compared to 14.28 days in 10 percent of patients. These findings have raised concerns among health authorities who insist on a 14-day quarantine.

Corona epidemic, meanwhile, has now entered its ninth month and the number of infected patients has risen to 19,295,350. The death toll rose to 7,19,830. The number of corona cases in the United States will reach five million while the death toll has risen to 1,61,328. Brazil is second with 29,62,442 cases of corona and India is third with 20,27,074 cases. However, the number of recoveries from corona in the world has also reached 1,16,81,405.

Meanwhile, the wearing of masks has been made mandatory in monasteries, museums, cinemas, banks and libraries in England and Scotland from Saturday following the increase in the number of corona patients following the easing of restrictions in Britain. The highest death toll from corona in Europe is 46,500 in Britain.

On the other hand, the total number of corona patients in the country has risen to 54,929 following the registration of 132 new cases of corona in Singapore. Most of the new infections are reported in work permit holders living in a foreign worker dormitory. Only six cases were from outsiders. In Germany, on the other hand, corona testing has been made mandatory for tourists from non-European countries and from European countries where the number of corona cases is high.

German authorities are concerned about the growing number of Corona cases in the country. For the third day in a row, more than 1,000 cases of corona have been reported in Germany, according to the Robert Koch Institute for Disease Control.

In the United States, on the other hand, four people have died in two states after drinking alcohol-based sanitizers used to prevent the spread of corona infection. In May and June, 15 people were poisoned by hand sanitizers in Arizona and New Mexico. In addition to the four deaths today, the eyesight of three people was also affected. All of the sanitizers they drank contained methanol or wood alcohol.

Ethyl alcohol, which can be consumed, is used in sanitizers to kill the virus. But some companies have started using toxic methanol sanitizers instead of ethyl alcohol. Which is used as antifreeze. The U.S. Postal Service said it lost 2 2.2 billion in the three months ended June. The postal service is estimated to have lost more than 20 20 billion in total in the last two years.

New Postmaster General Louis Dejoy told the Postal Board of Governors in a meeting on Friday that the decline in the number of mails has worsened our financial situation. Our business model is not working and our problems are not solved by management strategy. There is no end to these troubles without dramatic change. However he said his ability to deliver all the mail on time did not make any difference.
