Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered virus ,the virus has caused many people to fall sick and even to die.The covid has caused lockdown worldwide and because of this people cannot work and earn money as a result many people are suffering. The spread of covid 19 has caused pandemic.The virus is mainly transmitted through the droplets of cough sneezes,these droplets are too heavy to hang on the air so they quickly fall down.
We can be infected by breathing in the virus if we are near the infected person or by touching things in contact with the infected person. Common symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, sore throat and headaches. In severe cases difficulty in breathing and deaths can occur. This new strain was unknown before December 2019, when an outbreak of a pneumonia of unidentified cause emerged in Wuhan, China. To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer or wash your hands with soap and water. If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, make sure you use and store it carefully. Keep alcohol-based hand sanitizers out of children's reach.
For precaution, apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, as it can cause irritation. COVID-19 has turned the world upside down. Everything has been impacted. How we live and interact with each other, how we work and communicate, how we move around and travel. Every aspect of our lives has been affected. Decisions made now and in the coming months by the governments will be some of the most important made in generations. They will affect people all around the world for years to come. It is important that governments making those decisions have access to the best information available.
These days are like in prison because of lockdown. Schools have been closed and online classes are running. Students' academics depend entirely on the internet. We can't meet our friends. We do online shoppings because of fear that the corona might be loose. We don't go out of the house. It seems that the world has become empty, except there are mostly police, nurses and doctors working actively. Many people have died and many are suffering. But many have recovered too. People wear masks and use sanitizer as a necessary precaution.
It's very hard to live in such a world like this so we all wish that this pandemic would go and the days will again be normal as before. But till then we all must stay home and stay safe and be protected from the covid 19.
