This is a draft on the renewal of the Coronavirus disease 2019 video summary narration script. A discussion here suggests that a refreshment of the Coronavirus disease 2019 video summary from this one, as it may benefit those who seek a Simple English summary of the lead. Once narration and editing is done, the new video may be put on the article and the script will be changed to the final product here.
CURRENT STATUS: The draft has been seen as understandable, neat, and verifiable. It may be suited for narration, however possible mistakes or technical problems may delay it.
Current consensus restricts summary content to only summarizing the lead. The intent of the video, overall, is to summarize the lead. Unless there is a agreement on summarizing key points of the article, the summary definition will remain like it is. Current consensus also restricts overtechnical terms.
Current force(s) needed is/are: editor
Please feel free to discuss about the summary or any consensus on the talk page. Please do make edits if you can advance the script.
This draft will still be messy and contain maintenance tags. Tags will be colored.
Paragraphs will not be divided to sections, but combined.
Coronavirus disease 2019 summary. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, at en.wikipedia.org
Coronavirus disease 2019, known as COVID-19, is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (abbreviated as SARS-CoV-2). [1] First found in Wuhan, Hubei, China, it has caused a global pandemic known as the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] [3] The first confirmed patient tested positive for the virus on 17 November 2019. [4] The pandemic is still ongoing. Live numbers omitted: there's no way we can repeatedly update them.
Common symptoms for the virus include
fever,
cough,
fatigue, and the
inability to breathe,
smell, and
taste.
[5]
[6]
[7] Some people, however, experience more severe symptoms, like
lung inflammation,
multi-organ failure,
full-body infection, and
blood clots.
[8]
[9]
[10]
[11] The
time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days, but may range from two to fourteen days.
[6]
[12] The severity of symptoms vary across cases—from mild symptoms to life-threatening ones. Symptoms can appear as early as two days to as late as 14 days.
[6]
[13] Other people
do not exhibit symptoms. A usual way on noticing symptoms were
RT-PCR, which is
taking samples from the nose.
[14]
Scanning the body using
X-rays may help determine the severity of one's infection, but is not advised.
[15]
[16]
A person can contract the virus by touching droplets when coming into close contact from someone coughing, [a] sneezing, or talking. [18] [b] The droplets may fall directly to the ground, [21] but at times may stay in the air for a while. [22] Less commonly, people may become infected by touching a contaminated surface before touching their face. The first three days of infection are when the virus is most contagious.
Methods to prevent the spread of the virus include washing hands, social distancing, staying home, covering coughs by blocking or using masks, and not touching one's face with unwashed hands. [23] [24] The types of masks used by the doctors and the sick are different than those by regular people. [25] [26]
A cure has not been found to treat COVID-19. The World Health Organization announced the virus outbreak an international emergency [27] on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic on 11 March. [28] Last sentence is not really needed, as it has been explicitly stated at the beginning that the pandemic is global.

If the summary has been renewed, then this page will move as a Wikipedia-prefixed article, as a consensus, supplemental, and explanatory page on the video.
This "Q&A" page may have unneeded, unclear intention and ramification. A possibly important information about fever being 39 Fahrenheit may be merged to the symptoms paragraph, however it should be combined with the metric unit as it may cause confusion. Spanish translation may not be needed.
