Answer:
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi; the diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases of animals that can cause disease when transmitted to humans
Infectious diseases commonly spread through the direct transfer of bacteria, viruses or other germs from one person to another. This can happen when an individual with the bacterium or virus touches, kisses, or coughs or sneezes on someone who isn't infected.
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.
To protect others in your community:
•The person who is sick should stay home unless they need medical care.
•Other household members also should stay home. Follow instructions from your doctor,
local health care department, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about who should stay home and for how long.
•If you must go out of the house, wear a cloth face covering or face mask and keep at least 6 feet (2 meters) of distance between you and other people.
•Tell other people who were around the sick person. Your local or state health department can help you if you aren't sure who to notify.
