COVID-19, a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has impacted millions worldwide since its outbreak. Most individuals who contract the virus experience mild to moderate respiratory symptoms and recover without the need for specialized medical care. However, some groups, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions—like heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory issues, or cancer—are at higher risk of severe illness, which may require hospitalization. It’s important to note that people of any age can develop serious symptoms or even succumb to the disease.
