Question

Problem: 1
a. Suraj came to the school with a running nose and sneezed in front of you.
You get cold next day. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

you might have fallen sick because germs would have been spread to you from suraj as germs often spread through the air.

Answer 2

I may contract the disease and get cold the next day because the viruses causing common cold( mostly rhinoviruses) are spread in the form of airborne droplets, which is inhaled.

• These viruses spread from one infected person to another healthy person either via air or personal contact.

• Respiratory secretions of the infected person is one of the major ways in which it gets spread.

• To protect others from the common cold, one should cover the nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing to avoid release of respiratory droplets into the air.

• Hands should also be washed frequently followed by disinfection of surfaces.
