A scientific study showed that people with coronary coronavirus emerging, are more dangerous in transmitting this virus infection to others during the first week of their symptoms of pneumonia.
These findings were reached in a study conducted by the University of Hong Kong Microbiologists, published on The Lancet, and then published by the "South Morning China Post" magazine today.
This study was based on the analysis of saliva samples taken from 23 patients who were confirmed to have COVID-19 virus.
According to the results of the study, the rate of the virus in the saliva of patients between the ages of 35 and 75 years was higher for seven days after symptoms appeared, and then decreased.
"The elevated viral load during the first week of the disease indicates that it can be transmitted easily from person to person before the patient is hospitalized," said Calvin To, article author and associate professor of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong.
What has been the most confusing thing for experts is that Koruna 19 selected its victims not only according to age groups, but nationality for unknown reasons, as the number of HIV-positive men who died is much higher than among women.
The first to notice this trend is the Chinese, after performing a calculation of mortality rates by sex, it was found that the death rate among men reached 2.8% of the injured, whereas among women, it recorded 1.7%, meaning that men have more than one and a half times that of the fairer sex.
According to the latest data, more than 414,000 people worldwide have been infected with the virus, more than 18,000 have died.
