However, those affected must receive health care to relieve symptoms.
People with severe cases of the disease should be hospitalized.
Most patients recover with the help of support measures.
Possible vaccines and different specific pharmacological treatments are being investigated.
There are ongoing clinical trials to test them.
WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and drugs to prevent and treat COVID-19.
The most effective ways to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 are: wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth with your elbow or tissue when you cough, and keep a distance of at least 1 meter ( 3 feet) with people who cough or sneeze.

Are COVID-19 and SARS the same?
No. The genome of the virus that causes COVID-19 and that of those responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are similar, but not the same.

Since 2003, there have been no SARS outbreaks anywhere in the world.
