Clean water supplies are essential for good health and cleanliness in the
home
.
Often the only source of drinking water is polluted .More than 70
per cent of rural households have no safe drinking water .Their supplies
a
re often carried some distance from a river ,pond or well, or a
community pump or tap. Carrying water takes time and energy. For
these reasons, water is often kept in the house for a long time and, of
necessity, it is rationed carefully.
Several diseases
are spread by polluted water, these include diarrhoea, cholera
and typhoid Families using water from uncovered ponds or wells are likely to
suffer more frequently from all these infections than those whose water
comes from protected sites. An adequate supp
ly of water is also needed for
personal cleanliness and general hygiene in the home. Health workers should
encourage the provision of good household water supplies as much as
possible.
If there is no tap, the main water container must be kept clean,
covered and
free from debris. Overnight storage in earthen ware vessels reduces the
number of bacteria in the water. Nevertheless, it is important that any water
given to infants is first boiled. After boiling it should be covered in the same
container unt
il it is cool enough to drink.

Holi is known as the festival of colours. It is one of the most important festivals in India. Holi is celebrated each year with zeal and enthusiasm in the month of March by followers of the Hindu religion.

Holi is called the festival of colours because people play with colours and apply them to each other’s faces to get coloured in the essence of the festival.
Answer:
Corona virus
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
