41 Million Cases

The Covid-19 pandemic is seething and raging – and the world has stacked up 41 million cases. And 1.1 million deaths. And still counting.

Spain and Argentina already crossed the 1 million mark, joining the US, India, Brazil and Russia to make it into the Top 6 of the world's worst-affected countries.

Also, Portugal became the forty-sixth country to have accumulated more than 100,000 cases. And collectively, all these countries account for 93.1% and 95.2% of worldwide cases and deaths respectively. 

Here’s a quick and easy guide to know if you have Covid-19 – the three symptoms to look out for:

 

• New and continuous cough – Coughing a lot for more than an hour, or having three or    more coughing episodes in 24 hours 
• Fever – A temperature above 37.8C 
• Change in smell or taste – Either you cannot taste or smell anything, or these senses are different to normal 

If you get just one of them, you should get a test. 

Public Health England say about 85% of people with coronavirus will have at least one symptom. 

Still, no need to get alarmed! Most people who get it recover from it!
