COVID-19

Sometimes life isn't about all rainbows and sunshine.

The fact that there was no catastrophic pandemic in recent history does not mean there won't be another one.

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has left the whole world in danger and confusion. We don't know when will this pandemic end. At this crucial point of time where social distancing is the need of the hour, the whole country is under lock down.

Let us discuss in detail about the pandemic.

What is Corona Virus?

It is a virus or group of viruses which causes diseases in humans or animals. It causes respiratory problems ranging from normal cold to serious diseases such as SARS which stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, MERS which stands for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, COVID-19.

Covid-19 is one of the serious infectious diseases caused by coronavirus. This virus originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and now has spread in many parts of the world.

Symptoms of Covid-19 :-

• Fever
• Common cold
• Dry cough
• Fatigue
• Aches
• Diarrhea

It is a contagious disease and hence can be transmitted if you come in contact of people who have it already. It can spread from one person to the other through droplets from mouth or nose. On coughing or sneezing, the droplets land on the objects or surfaces nearby, so touching them is risky as well. If a person touch such objects and then touch his mouth, eyes, nose, virus can easily get into the body.

Precautions to be taken :-

• Avoid public places. Chances of spreading the virus is high in public places.

• In case you need to travel, always wear masks and gloves.

• Don't touch your face often.

• Wash your hands thoroughly (palm, back of hands, between fingers, under the nails) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Maintain a good distance from the person who is coughing or sneezing.

What is required to do now?

The only solution right now to prevent it is to follow lockdown and social isolation.

Our Hon'ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has announced lock down in the whole country. We as responsible citizens of India should follow it.

In this time of crisis, where social isolation is the need of the hour, there are things which we can do at our homes to keep ourselves busy and happy.

The Government of India has also launched "Aarogya Setu" app which connects essential health services with the people of India in our combined fight against Covid-19. The app inform the users regarding risks, best practices and relevant advisories pertaining to the containment of Covid-19. The app uses your Bluetooth and GPS location for awaring you if you come across an infected person.

Use your time wisely at your homes and stay safe!
