WHO - FAQs
- Does wearing a face mask protect you from coronavirus?
- Regular masks may not offer enough protection. Professional tight-fitting masks such as the N95 can be used by health workers, patients and those in contact with them.
- Can antibiotics offer protection against 2019-nCoV infection?
- Antibiotics are used in prevention of illnesses caused by bacteria, not viruses. COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which is a virus. Therefore, antibiotics are not recommended in treatment of coronavirus infection cases. However, patients may be administered antibiotics if they are found to have a bacterial co-infection during hospitalization.
- Can thermal scanners positively identify someone suffering from COVID-19?
- Not always. Thermal scanners can help to identify people running a higher than normal temperature. However, someone suffering from the new coronavirus infection may not develop fever symptoms until a few days after being infected. This is also known as the incubation period.
- Is eating garlic useful in preventing infection from the new coronavirus?
- Garlic is well known for its significant antimicrobial properties. However, there is no report of garlic being able to prevent the new coronavirus infection from spreading nor any indication that people have obtained cure for coronavirus by eating preparations containing garlic.
- Are older people more susceptible to the new coronavirus infection than younger people?
- The new coronavirus can infect people of all age groups. The risk of severe illness is higher in the elderly and in people with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease.
