COVID-19,Situation and Prevention measures in TANZANIA
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.
The courses of COVID-19
COVID-19 is caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus strain.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2),is the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the respiratory illness responsible for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.The virus previously had a provisional name, 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV),and has also been called human coronavirus 2019 (HCoV-19 or hCoV-19).First identified in the city of Wuhan, Hubei, China, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.SARS‑CoV‑2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that is contagious in humans
Where Covid-19 first discovered?
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. Because many of the early infectees were workers at the Huanan Seafood Market,it has been suggested that the virus might have originated from the market. However, other research indicates that visitors may have introduced the virus to the market, which then facilitated rapid expansion of the infections.A March 2021 WHO-convened report stated that human spillover via an intermediate animal host was the most likely explanation, with direct spillover from bats next most likely. Introduction through the food supply chain and the Huanan Seafood Market was considered another possible, but less likely, explanation.[83] An analysis in November 2021, however, said that the earliest-known case had been misidentified and that the preponderance of early cases linked to the Huanan Market argued for it being the source

Tanzania grew a little different from other countries in the world in terms of controlling the transmission of COVID-19 to civilians by not freeing them from their homes and going about their daily life.
