COVID-19 is a virus strain, first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, that has only spread in people since December 2019 and has now become a world pandemic.

The symptoms of COVID-19 are non-specific, but commonly presents with fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have difficult breathing, aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhoea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention. No effective treatment has been recommended yet with patients provided with supportive care. However, there are several ongoing clinical trials that include both western and traditional medicines.

The disease spreads from an infected person to others through breathing in droplets from the nose or mouth during coughing or sneezing. Droplet contaminated surfaces including human body parts may also spread the disease when a person touches such surfaces and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth.

This study will contribute to the refinement of case definitions and advance epidemiology of COVID-19. It will provide opportunity to validate the WHO criteria across different populations, status of pandemic and locations. This information will inform further research and public health messages and interventions.

We would like to study the epidemiology of COVID-19 using an online Open Cohort approach on 5,000 respondents globally using an initial baseline data collection tool filled in once and then very short fortnightly questions filled. The form will be circulated through emails and available social media globally. It will also be available for download on the study website.

The study poses no more than minimal risks to the participants.There are also no direct benefits from this study but by taking part you may help us improve the case definitions and epidemiology of COVID-19.
