DAD is the cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe hypoxaemia. [119]WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said though people are better protected by vaccines and prior infection, countries should not let down their guard. The use of passive antibodies to treat people with active COVID‑19 is also being studied. This involves the production of convalescent serum, which consists of the liquid portion of the blood from people who recovered from the infection and contains antibodies specific to this virus, which is then administered to active patients. [514] This strategy was tried for SARS with inconclusive results. [514] An updated Cochrane review in May 2021 found high certainty evidence that, for the treatment of people with moderate to severe COVID‑19, convalescent plasma did not reduce mortality or bring about symptom improvement. [515] There continues to be uncertainty about the safety of convalescent plasma administration to people with COVID‑19 and differing outcomes measured in different studies limits their use in determining efficacy. [515] Bioethics Estimates of the links between work-limiting ill health, demographic and labour market changes, and recent rises in economic inactivity, using Annual Population Survey data. Experimental Statistics. For deaths statistics, the ONS, along with its counterparts in Scotland and Northern Ireland, counts all deaths where Covid is on the death certificate. About 90% of these deaths are directly due to Covid, while it is a contributory factor in the remaining deaths. These figures differ from the daily figures the government used to publish every day throughout the pandemic. These figures included any deaths that have occurred within 28 days of a positive test.

The virus also affects gastrointestinal organs as ACE2 is abundantly expressed in the glandular cells of gastric, duodenal and rectal epithelium [131] as well as endothelial cells and enterocytes of the small intestine. [132] Cardiovascular system The likelihood of new-onset, self-reported long COVID after a second coronavirus (COVID-19) infection compared with a first infection, using data from the COVID-19 Infection Survey. Experimental Statistics. Most critical respiratory comorbidities according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are: moderate or severe asthma, pre-existing COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis. [381] Evidence stemming from meta-analysis of several smaller research papers also suggests that smoking can be associated with worse outcomes. [382] [383] When someone with existing respiratory problems is infected with COVID‑19, they might be at greater risk for severe symptoms. [384] COVID‑19 also poses a greater risk to people who misuse opioids and amphetamines, insofar as their drug use may have caused lung damage. [385] Risk of death following COVID-19 vaccination or positive SARS-CoV-2 test in young people, England: 8 December 2020 to 25 May 2022In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) initiated the Solidarity trial to assess the treatment effects of some promising drugs: an experimental drug called remdesivir; anti-malarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine; two anti-HIV drugs, lopinavir/ritonavir; and interferon-beta. [485] [486] More than 300 active clinical trials are underway as of April 2020. [68] COVID-19 is mainly transmitted when people breathe in air contaminated by droplets/ aerosols and small airborne particles containing the virus. Infected people exhale those particles as they breathe, talk, cough, sneeze, or sing. [78] [79] [80] [81] Transmission is more likely the closer people are. However, infection can occur over longer distances, particularly indoors. [78] [82] Starting June 18, data for Scotland will include testing results from the U.K. Government’s Regional Testing Centres, in addition to data from NHS Laboratories. Scotland did not update data from June 15 to June 17 while preparing this change. Highly effective vaccines have reduced mortality related to SARS-CoV-2; however, for those awaiting vaccination, as well as for the estimated millions of immunocompromised persons who are unlikely to respond robustly to vaccination, treatment remains important. [261] The cornerstone of management of COVID-19 has been supportive care, which includes treatment to relieve symptoms, fluid therapy, oxygen support and prone positioning as needed, and medications or devices to support other affected vital organs.

An experimental analysis estimating the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on the number of hospital episodes involving falls and fractures associated with new-onset frailty and disability. In November 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorisation for the investigational monoclonal antibody therapy bamlanivimab for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID‑19. [501] Bamlanivimab is authorised for people with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing who are twelve years of age and older weighing at least 40 kilograms (88lb), and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID‑19 or hospitalisation. [501] This includes those who are 65 years of age or older, or who have chronic medical conditions. [501] The standard methods of testing for presence of SARS-CoV-2 are nucleic acid tests, [20] [164] which detects the presence of viral RNA fragments. [165] As these tests detect RNA but not infectious virus, its "ability to determine duration of infectivity of patients is limited." [166] The test is typically done on respiratory samples obtained by a nasopharyngeal swab; however, a nasal swab or sputum sample may also be used. [167] [168] Results are generally available within hours. [20] The WHO has published several testing protocols for the disease. [169] Most cases of COVID-19 are mild. In these, supportive care includes medication such as paracetamol or NSAIDs to relieve symptoms (fever, body aches, cough), proper intake of fluids, rest, and nasal breathing. [265] [266] [267] [268] Good personal hygiene and a healthy diet are also recommended. [269] As of April 2020 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that those who suspect they are carrying the virus isolate themselves at home and wear a face mask.

[185] This graphic shows how early adoption of containment measures tends to protect wider swaths of the population. Romiti GF, Corica B, Lip GY, Proietti M (June 2021). "Prevalence and Impact of Atrial Fibrillation in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis". Journal of Clinical Medicine. 10 (11): 2490. doi: 10.3390/jcm10112490. PMC 8200114. PMID 34199857. A cytokine storm is due to an acute hyperinflammatory response that is responsible for clinical illness in an array of diseases but in COVID‑19, it is related to worse prognosis and increased fatality. The storm causes acute respiratory distress syndrome, blood clotting events such as strokes, myocardial infarction, encephalitis, acute kidney injury, and vasculitis. The production of IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and interferon-gamma, all crucial components of normal immune responses, inadvertently become the causes of a cytokine storm. The cells of the central nervous system, the microglia, neurons, and astrocytes, are also involved in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines affecting the nervous system, and effects of cytokine storms toward the CNS are not uncommon. [158] Pregnancy response In September 2020, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) endorsed the use of dexamethasone in adults and adolescents from twelve years of age and weighing at least 40 kilograms (88lb) who require supplemental oxygen therapy. [499] [500] Dexamethasone can be taken by mouth or given as an injection or infusion (drip) into a vein. [499] Seasonally adjusted "work-related" spending, which includes spending on automotive fuel, has risen 15% since the end of August 2023, coinciding with a fall in "delayable" spending; meanwhile, overall UK retail footfall decreased to 96% of the previous week and was slightly down on the equivalent week of 2022 (Bank of England CHAPS, Springboard).
