Late 2019, authorities identified a new coronavirus outbreak in China that has now reached other countries. The virus is known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), while the disease is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and also known as Wu Han Virus, after the city, it is believed to have originated from. If you have the symptoms of COVID-2019 or you have possibly been exposed to the virus, contact your doctor immediately to get proper help and advice and seek Coronavirus Testing.
There are currently no antiviral medications recommended to treat COVID-19. Treatment is mostly aimed at relieving symptoms, which may include cough syrup or medication, pain relievers, rest, and fluid intake. If your doctor thinks that you can be treated at home, you will be given special instructions, such as isolating yourself as much as possible from anyone (including family) and staying at home for a period of time. In severe cases, you may need to be treated in the hospital and stay in isolation away from other people until you have recovered.
The length of stay in the hospital and in Johannesburg can vary. If you are in Hospital, at Home, on Holiday you will be quarantined and you will continue to undergo throat swabs for the virus for 5 to 14 days. This is to determine if you are still contagious and will mean you will need to stay in the country and avoid being in close contact with anyone for at least two weeks while you recover.
Recovery time of COVID-19 varies, depends on the severity of the disease, your overall health, and your age. According to Harvard Health, people who have mild symptoms may recover within a few days, while those with pneumonia will need more time (ranging from days to weeks). In severe, life-threatening cases, it may take months for the person to recover.
Since it is common for viruses to exist in low levels within the body even after recovery, you will still need to be careful, particularly in your household setting. Do not share drinks or food and ensure that you wash your hands frequently. Always take the necessary precautions to avoid spreading the disease while at home or anywhere else. Bear in mind that recovery does not necessarily make you immune to the disease.
Little is known about the virus. Investigations and research about the virus are still ongoing, so the exact number of success rates and mortality rates are likely to change further as more cases are confirmed. Several groups of people have a high risk of developing complications due to the disease, including very young children, people aged 65 or older, and women who are pregnant. Those with any pre-existing health conditions are also at high risk.
There are currently no alternatives to coronavirus treatment. There is also no vaccine available to prevent infection. However, prevention is best. Always follow the standard precautions, such as washing your hands with soap and water frequently.
Before treatment, you may experience symptoms of the coronavirus and you may have spread it to other people. Theirs is also a small chance that the disease may become life-threatening. After Isolation and rest, any symptoms should be relieved and your chance of spreading the virus to other people will be reduced.

Johannesburg is the most populous as well as the largest city in South Africa. There is a lot to see and do in Johannesburg. Home to the Apartheid Museum, it is the perfect place for anyone who loves history and wants to learn more about the country’s past. There are also MOAD and MuseuMAfriCA that exhibit the city’s art and history. Other than the museums, the metropolitan city has a number of other things to do, such as enjoying Gold Reef City, shopping in its many markets, and visiting The Cradle of Human Kind.
Today, people have found a new reason to visit Johannesburg: medical tourism. Although it is not as widely known as other medical tourism destinations in other parts of the world, the city has seen a steady rise in medical tourists. The urban city features public and private medical centers with the highest standards, well-trained medical practitioners, and cutting-edge technology. Most of the medical centers have English speaking doctors, nurses, and staff, so there is no language barrier for foreign medical tourists. Plastic surgery, particularly tummy tuck, is one of the more popular procedures since it is much cheaper here than in Western countries.
While Johannesburg is not a popular tourist destination, there are a number of things to see and do in the city. The city is mostly known as Nelson Mandela’s home and has an array of astonishing museums. Those who love history and want to learn about the country’s struggle will enjoy the Apartheid Museum. It exhibits the story of apartheid through photographs, film footage, clippings, newspaper, and artifacts. Mandela House in Soweto Street is also worth a visit. It was once Nelson Mandela’s home. The museum showcases photographs, paintings, as well as awards and recognitions earned by Nelson Mandela.
One of the most popular places is the Lion Park. The safari park offers an amazing chance to watch lions and several other animals up close. There are also other activities such as animal interactions and hand-feeding a few animals, such as ostriches and giraffes. Other than the Lion Park, Pilanesberg National Park is famous among wildlife enthusiast. The national park is filled with opulent ecosystem and wildlife. Tourists can experience a safari and spot lions, rhinos, elephants, leopards, zebras, and over 300 bird species in their natural habitat.
Johannesburg is popular for its art and you must visit the Maboneng Precinct where you will find art-studios and shops selling art pieces. Wits Art Museum is another great place to admire African art. If you want to know more about the culture, Lesedi Cultural Village is the best place to go. Here, tourists can learn more about traditional South African culture and a chance to encounter people of Zulu, Pedi, Ndebele, Xhosa, and Basotho origin. Other places including SAB World of Beer, Gold Reef City, Holly Hill, Market Theatre, Constitution Hill, and Mary Fitzgerald Square are also a must-visit.
Johannesburg experiences a subtropical highland climate. The summer, which runs from October to April, is characterized by hot days with thundershowers in the afternoon and cool evenings. The temperature is mostly mild during the summer. January is one of the hottest months, with an average maximum daytime temperature of 25.6 °C. The summer has an extreme UV index, sometimes reaching as high as 14-16. Therefore, tourists must wear sun-protective clothing and apply sunscreen during the day to avoid sunburn.
In the winter, the city enjoys sunny days and cold nights. This season is dry, and the average maximum temperature is around 16 °C. In June and July, the temperature can drop to 4.1 °C and occasionally drops below freezing at night. The freezing temperature causes frost, but snow is rare.

International visitors usually arrive at O. R. Tambo International Airport, also known as Johannesburg International Airport. It is Africa’s busiest airport and the primary airport that serves domestic and international travel. The airport connects South Africa with various cities all over the world, including London, Abu Dhabi, Atlanta, Singapore, and Sydney. It is the hub for South Africa’s largest domestic and international airlines, South African Airways. Budget airlines such as FlySafair, Mango, and Kalula operate flights from this airport for an inexpensive travel option.
Johannesburg has a vast public transport system. The Gautrain rapid-rail is safe and fairly easy to navigate. The rail also links the city center with O. R. Tambo International Airport. For efficient transport, tourists can opt for the Rea Vaya bus service that has a circular route through the city and is useful to explore the City Center at a reasonable cost. Many locals will use the minibus taxi network, but it can be pretty confusing for foreign tourists. Passengers need to know a route to their destination, hail the minibus taxi from the street, and once they have arrived at their desired destination, they need to make a hand signal to stop the minibus.
Metered taxis are available but can be quite expensive. The taxis are mostly found outside hotels. Since there are only a few places to hail a taxi in the street, the best way to hail a taxi is by phone. Be careful because many taxis do not use meters so tourists would need to negotiate the price before getting in. The most reliable metered taxis are Orange Cabs, Quick Cab, and Zebra Cabs. Uber is also available for safer, quicker, and more affordable transport.
