Situation and vulnerability
People who are immunocompromised or have heart or respiratory disease are more exposed to serious forms. Transmission is possible through contact, secretion and stool.
Signs and limits of their interpretation
Cold, fever, conjunctivitis, pneumonia or gastroenteritis are possible. These signs alone do not identify the virus.
Diagnosis and monitoring
Review and the collective context guide possible tests. Specify if symptoms include eyes, breathing or digestion.
Check these markers in the CDC reference →
Prevention and care
Associate hand hygiene, aeration and cleaning of shared objects. A swimming pool must comply with water treatment rules; consult in case of aggravation or vulnerability.
Practical issues
Can we still eliminate the virus after the improvement?
Yes: CDCs describe prolonged elimination, sometimes without symptoms, especially in immunocompromised people. The disappearance of the signs does not exempt hygiene.
Preparing for an exchange with a professional
- Eye damage, lung or digestion
- Pool and pooled cases
- Immunodepression and duration of signs
