Gastrointestinal Diseases from Animals

Getty Which gastrointestinal virus symptoms indicate coronavirus? With the COVID-19 coronavirus fundamentally altering life around the world, many people are wondering whether their symptoms match coronavirus. Among those questions: What are the gastrointestinal virus symptoms that might be a sign you have COVID-19? Compounding the anxiety: Some people aren’t sure whether their stomach pain is caused by anxiety or it’s a symptom of coronavirus (or something else.) We live in uncertain times, and we’re dealing with an unknown illness. It’s important to be vigilant about symptoms but to also keep an optimistic mindset and remember that most people with coronavirus recover from it. The answer, now: Yes, gastrointestinal issues can be a symptom of coronavirus, but they’re not the most common symptom (you can see a breakdown later in this article). However, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, and lack of appetite have all been documented as symptoms seen in coronavirus ...

Many restaurants are permitted to stay open during the COVID-19 outbreak to serve takeout food, but ... [+] is it safe to eat? (Photo by Zhao Jun/China News Service via Getty Images) China News Service via Getty Images As businesses are shuttered all over the world, chefs in restaurants are continuing to cook meals for the public, healthcare workers and those in vital services, with their restaurants allowed to stay open while other businesses are forced to close. But is there any chance of becoming sick with COVID-19 from eating takeout foods? “ There is no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted by eating food. I imagine that if this is possible, the risk is extremely low,” said Angela L. Rasmussen, PhD, a virologist in the faculty of the Center for Infection and Immunity at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, adding that she is not aware of any human coronaviruses that can be transmitted through food. Current recommendations to prevent the spread of coronav...

News Just days ago, a COVID-19 patient's dog in Hong Kong tested ‘weak positive’ for the virus, raising questions about the health of animals amid the outbreak.  Tuesday, March 3rd 2020, 5:30 PM EST by Evan Dean Updated: Tuesday, March 3rd 2020, 6:25 PM EST FORT MYERS, Fla. - Mya Williams has a hard time keeping up with her dog Mia, who’s just 7 months old and loves to run.   “She’s a ball of energy,” Williams joked Tuesday morning while walking Mia at Buckingham Park in Fort Myers.  The health of Williams’ family -- and their dog -- is important to her.

With the infectious coronavirus spreading around the globe, Pikes Peak region officials say local residents remain at low risk of contracting the disease that has sickened more than 82,000 and caused nearly 3,000 deaths since it broke out in China, but has yet to make inroads in the interior U.S. Beyond that assurance, though, there is little they can offer except tips on preventing spread of germs, such as washing hands frequently and disinfecting surfaces. There is no vaccine for the virus and no medicine that can be administered once someone has tested positive for the disease. Local agencies are not involved in confirming cases, either; that’s done at the federal level. As of Friday, there have been no confirmed cases in Colorado. However, several area schools sent emails to parents this week, alerting them to prevention, such as frequent hand washing, and letting them know that schools are aware of the latest reports on the spread of the virus. An email Cheyenne Mountain Schoo...

With March break around the corner, the risk of catching the new coronavirus is likely to cross the minds of many Canadian travellers. More than 82,000 people around the globe have been sickened by the virus since it was first identified in late 2019. Mainland China remains ground zero for the outbreak, but there are new countries of concern. Cases have soared in South Korea, Italy and Iran in recent weeks, raising new questions about how the disease is spreading. So what should vacationers do? Experts say: Prepare, don’t panic. “Preparation comes in knowledge,” Irfan Jetha, CEO of Travel Health Now, told Global News. “With any travel, it’s ensuring that you’re taking precautions, especially now. It goes back to some of the really simple stuff.” What are the symptoms? Runny nose, headache, cough and fever are all symptoms of this new coronavirus strain, but part of the difficulty in weeding out mild cases of COVID-19 is its similarities to the common cold. So far, most of thos...
