Please visit the TechCrunch COVID-19 Webpage, Slush Webpage, GGVC Webpage, and VentureLab for learning more about global startups' response to the pandemic.

  • What is the CoronaVirus?

    As explained by the WHO, the coronaviruses is a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.

  • How should I greet a person to avoid Covid-19 spread?

    As per the WHO guidelines, the best way to greet a person in such unprecedented times is by a nod, wave or a bow. 

  • Should I avoid shaking hands because of Covid-19?

    Yes, please avoid shaking hands as respiratory viruses can be transmitted through shaking hands and touching your eyes, nose and mouth. 

  • Why should I wash my hands frequently?

    It is very important to regularly wash and clean your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer which will kill viruses that may be on your hands. 

  • How do I know if it is COVID-19 or just the common flu?

    A COVID-19 infection has the same signs and symptoms as the common cold so you can only differentiate between them through lab testing to determine the virus type. 

  • Can the virus that causes COVID-19 be transmitted through the air?

    Studies to date suggest that the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets rather than through the air. If new data arises, we will be sure to update you on it. 

  • I am well and asymptomatic. Should I use a mask?

    According to the WHO, for individuals without respiratory symptoms, a medical mask is not required, as no evidence is available on its usefulness to protect non-sick persons.If masks are used, people should be taught on how to wear, remove, and dispose of them and on the need of hand hygiene action after removal of mask.

  • What is the risk of my child becoming sick with COVID-19?

    Based on the present data, children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. Although it is true that some children and infants have been sick with the virus but mostly adults are the ones contracting it to date. 
     
     

  • Are the symptoms of COVID-19 different in children than in adults?

    No. The symptoms of the virus are similar in adults and children. However, children with confirmed COVID-19 have generally mild symptoms.

  • Should I worry about COVID-19?

    Yes ideally you should be worried about the spread of the virus. As suggested by the UN, about 1 in every 5 people who catch it need hospital care. It is therefore quite normal for people to worry about how the COVID-19 outbreak will affect them and their loved ones.To protect ourselves, as recommended by the UN, first and foremost is to regularly and thoroughly wash hands and maintain good respiratory hygiene. Secondly, keep yourself informed and follow the advice of the local central and state health authorities including any restrictions put in place on travel, movement and gatherings.

  • What is the community spread of Covid-19?

    It is when people who do not have any travel history and are not in contact with people who have contracted the disease yet still show symptoms of the virus and are unaware of the source.  

  • How long is the incubation period from Covid-19?

    As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the “incubation period” refers to the  time between catching the virus and beginning to show the symptoms of it. In most cases the incubation period ranges from 1-14 days, most commonly around five days. 

  • How do I manage my personal expenses during the lockdown period?/How can I ensure that the basic needs of my family are met during the lockdown period?

     

    • The primary challenge in such times is to manage available cash and create avenues to generate cash.
    • To manage available cash, streamline your expenses. Reduce or postpone expenses which are not essential now – one way could be to draw out a list of expenses and put them in buckets like ‘expenses that can’t be postponed’,  ‘expenses that can be postponed’, ‘expenses that can be reduced’ and  try to ration the available resources.
    • Cash is generated from existing resources and from existing small assets as well (FDs, NSCs, gold, etc.) which businesses and individuals create active economic times when there are surplus incomes. The point is once the initial period is handled and situations stabilise, your regular cash flows shall enable you to once again create such assets. Please remember all of us create assets in times of surplus only to handle emergencies and this is a unique emergency.
    • You can request some of your service providers for staggered payments or for a postponement of payments.
    • The last option could be approaching a lending institution (your existing lender or a small finance bank which specialise in lending to small businesses) for emergency cash flow – but please bear in mind that while a new loan will bring in cash, it will also bring the interest burden which demands cash outgo. Be also very clear about the loan servicing required and your ability to take care of it. Ideally, this is best resorted to – if at all - when situation becomes clearer and activities restart and are stable. You may also try through the Fintech platform www.psbloansin59minutes.com  for a loan from a number of available lending institutions of your choice.
    • One of the critical things is to control cash outgo while finding ways to generate new cash.

    No. The NBFC must be registered with RBI, should be meeting the CRAR requirements prescribed by RBI and have been in lending business for at least two years as on 29th Feb 2020. The Managing Committee of the Scheme may prescribe additional qualification criteria from time to time.

  • What will be the procedure for claim settlement ?

    This will be advised in due course through additional guidelines to be issued.

  • Can new MSME borrowers get covered under the scheme?

    ECLGS scheme is only for existing borrowers on the books of the banks as on 29th Feb 2020. Any New borrowers should be covered under ongoing CGTMSE and NCGTC schemes

  • Can co-applicant loans between entity and the promoter or director get covered under the scheme ?

    For loans having co-applicant, only those existing loans where entity is the primary co-applicant are covered under the Scheme for additional emergency funding.

  • Are off balance sheet loans provided to MSME borrowers covered as part of the scheme?

    No, the scheme does not cover the off-balance sheet exposure. Only on balance sheet exposures outstanding as on 29th Feb, 2020 are eligible to be covered under the scheme

  • Who can provide answers to any further queries?

    Please address your queries/suggestions to ceo@ncgtc.in

     

  • Should we use HCQ as prophylaxis in health care workers (HCW)?

    Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been advised as prophylaxis in HCW and high-risk contacts without contraindications. It can be used along with proper use of PPE and other infection control practices to protect from COVID 19. 

  • Can Ivermectin be used for COVID patients?

    Ivermectin has been found to be a potent inhibitor of SARS CoV2 replication in vitro, but the doses required to achieve this effect in vivo far exceeds the usual dose. It is currently not recommended in the national guidelines but can be used in patients in whom HCQ is contraindicated. 

  • Should we continue using anticoagulation post discharge?

    In our experience, there have been no delayed post-COVID thrombotic complications. Since the prothrombotic state parallels the viremic and inflammatory phase, once the patient has been discharged, the thrombotic risk also decreases. So, we don’t recommend anti-coagulation at discharge in routine COVID patients unless indicated for other reasons like DVT, prosthetic valve etc. 

  • Sudden deaths in COVID-19

    Sudden deaths have been reported both at presentation to emergency department (ED) as well as in hospital. Reasons that have been proposed include a sudden cardiac event/ ACS, preceding silent hypoxia that went unnoticed or due to a thrombotic complication such as pulmonary thromboembolism. Patients with risk factors to develop severe COVID or with prior comorbid conditions such as CAD or chronic lung disease should be strictly monitored for their saturation. They should not be allowed to move unattended. Anticoagulant should be used in all at-risk patients who do not have any risk factors of bleeding.

  • Methyl prednisolone vs dexamethasone

    Corticosteroids are currently indicated in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients. Recovery trial has used dexamethasone. However, both IV dexamethasone or methyl prednisolone may be used based on the availability. 

  • What is the role of Tocilizumab?

    Tocilizumab has been approved by DCGI on compassionate ground in view of ongoing pandemic. However, it is an experimental therapy, has a limited role, and should be used only in patients with cytokine syndrome after ruling out active infections. 

  • What is the role of Plasma therapy?

    Convalescent plasma collected from ABO matched donors with high neutralizing titers can be given to patients at risk of developing severe COVID in early stages of the disease. However, it should also be considered an experimental therapy and should be used with caution.

  • Role of Favipiravir

    Studies have used Favipiravir mainly in mild or asymptomatic COVID, claiming to prevent progression, whereas majority of this cohort recover with just supportive care and monitoring and usually require no specific therapy. Evidence is weak for the use of Favipiravir and is currently not recommended in national guidelines.

  • Role of antifibrotic in prevention of lung fibrosis

    There is no evidence to support the use of antifibrotic agents like pirfenidone in preventing COVID related fibrosis and hence should not be used.

  • How to prevent depression in COVID 19 patients?

    Depression is a common finding in patients with COVID which may be because of number of reasons including staying in isolation, anxiety related to disease, social stigma, among others. Such patients need empathy and psychological counselling preferably by a trained HCW like a psychologist / psychiatrist. 

  • Can we give Remdesivir/TCZ in a highly suspect patient who is COVID negative on all reports?

    Remdesivir/TCZ are experimental therapies, approved by DCGI in view of the ongoing pandemic. Therefore, they should not be used as empirical therapy for suspected cases. You should use these agents only in proven COVID patients, where clinically indicated.

  • Can we try Methylene blue?

    No, there is no role of methylene blue in the management of COVID.

  • How long can we give Remdesivir?

    Remdesivir is currently recommended for 5 days in once daily dosing.

  • Can we use Remdesivir/TCZ prophylactically in asymptomatic patients with comorbidities?

    There is no evidence to support the use of Remdesivir/TCZ in asymptomatic patients with comorbidities

  • Should relatives be allowed to visit COVID-19 patients admitted in the wards?

    No, relatives are not allowed to visit COVID-19 patients as they have chances to get infected and transfer it to the community.

  • Can parents be allowed to stay with COVID-19 positive children?

    Parents can stay with the children after explaining the risk and taking consent for the same.

  • Should we continue steroids on discharge?

    No, there is no role of steroids at the time of discharge unless indicated for any other concomitant disease.

  • How do we maintain nutrition in a patient on ventilation?

    Patients on ventilator may require TPN or Ryle’s tube feeding depending on their underlying condition.

  • When should we shift from NIV to invasive ventilation?

    If the patient is not able to maintain saturation, going into respiratory fatigue, or the GCS is poor to tolerate NIV, they should be considered for invasive ventilation.

  • When should we consider a tracheostomy?

    Patients in whom prolonged ventilation is anticipated should be considered for tracheostomy.
