For those who are unaware, the coronavirus causes pneumonia and those who suffered from it reported to have symptoms like coughs, fever and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it also leads to organ failure.
As this is viral pneumonia, antibiotics are of no use and the antiviral drugs against flu are also not working. Patients admitted to the hospital get support for lungs and other organs but the recovery is dependent on their immune system.
