What Is the Coronavirus? 10 Things to Know
7. What Is Being Done to Treat Coronavirus?
As you have probably gathered from the lack of specific details about the disease currently available, researchers are still trying to gain a real understanding of the novel coronavirus. Since the virus is so new, there simply hasn’t been enough time to gather a lot of data on it.
However, a lot of efforts are currently being made to figure out the best strategies for treating infected people. The lack of a specific vaccine or medication to fight coronavirus means that infected individuals are given a lot of supportive measures to try to help their bodies fight off the infection rather than being administered an antivirus or similar medication. Treatment is mostly concerned with relieving pain as well as keeping organs functioning in more serious cases. Infections of coronavirus are not usually fatal and hopefully a more effective cure will be developed in the near future. Until then, the best way to stay healthy can be through preventative measures.
