A Covid rash on a child will usually appear as a red rash and then turn purple although the Covid rash can sometimes start out as purple in color.
Most children with COVID-19 infection have mild symptoms, and a rash may be the only sign of infection.
The rashes that present on children can be quite impressive, particularly if you think about the size of the child's blood vessels.
The influenza (the flu) and COVID-19 are caused by different viruses.
Although some people think that the influenza (the flu) and COVID-19 are basically the same that is not true.
Covid-19 is entirely different than the flu virus and more serious in most cases.
While some people who get Covid-19 may only experience flu like symptoms or not be as seriously ill it's not the same illness and other people get more serious complications from the Covid-19 virus and die as a result.
Although the flu can also kill but Covid-19 kills people more easily than the flu.
Both COVID-19 and flu can spread from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Both are spread mainly by large and small particles containing virus that are expelled when people with the illness (COVID-19 or flu) cough, sneeze, or talk.
The Covid-19 Virus originated from bats.
Experts say that the Covid-19 Virus also known as the SARS-CoV-2 originated in bats.
That’s also how the coronaviruses behind Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) got started.
Covid-19 virus was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.
The first infections were linked to a live animal market, but the virus is now spreading from person-to-person.
In December 12, 2019 A cluster of patients in Wuhan, Hubei Providence, China begin to experience shortness of breath and fever.
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface.
Human coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s.
They are closely monitored by public health officials.
The first known infections from SARS‐CoV‐2 were discovered in Wuhan, China.
The original source of viral transmission to humans remains unclear, as does whether the virus became pathogenic before or after the spillover event.
COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2.
Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
