(a)-Covid-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. 'CO' stand for corona,'VI' for virus and 'D' for disease.Formely this disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or 2019-nCov

If you are in contact with an infected person,the virus can enter your body if droplet get in to your throat,nose or eyes.
c)
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.
2)
The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, thus disrupting domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe and diverse diets. The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit.

c)
The main elements in the control of an epidemic are, therefore, as follows: Attack source and mode of transmission. Contaminated water should be prohibited or sterilized, infected food destroyed, and vector breeding sites dealt with.
