 very high mostly in the developed countries like

What is this Covid -19? How did it arrive?

        Corona viruses are large group of

Viruses that are common among animals in rare cases they found in human bodies,but it has attacked humans as well.the corona viruses have only RNA in their bodies but no DNA. It can affect your upper respiratory track(nose sinuses and upper throat) 

  In early2020 after a december2019, There was an outbreak in China, it started to spred in an alarming speed

And spread out through out the world.

Now it has not spared even a single nation and became pendamic.

           This virus can also lead to pneumonia ,respiratory failure, septic shock and  even death.In some infected people it also causes chest pain or pressure. Strokes have also been reported in covid infected patients.

 Some people who are hospitalized

For they have developed blood clot in their bodies and mind.This is  due covid-19.

How does Covid-19 spread?

Covid-19 viruses do not spread on their own Neither do they through travel through air or water or through animais like rats,pigs, or birds, or musquittos or flies do not spread this disease.Actually it  spreads through  small drops or droplets  of our saliva.That is when we  coughed or sneezed.By giving shake hands,hugging or kissing thy start pass on to others. That is why   covid-19 infected  persons  and their associates are kept in quarantine for15- to 20 days. If their medical report becomes positive, they will be hospitalizd for further treatment.

    Senior persons of age 60 and above and young children are easily vulnerable to this viruses. So they should not be allowed to go out of the houses.

      Until now there is no genuine perfect vaccine is found out.

What are the preventive measures to be taken  at this crucial moment ?

• Wash your hands with  soup and water for 20 seconds, several times when you return from outside.

• Stay home,if at all, you need to go, go after wearing a mask,covering your nose, mouth and chin.

• Don’t touch your eyes or nose and  mouth  with your fingers,as the viruses present abundantly on the tip of your fingers and by touching the mouth,they may enter in to your body and get multiplied themselves.

• Use sanitiser before touching any thing.

• When our body resistance power is high we could avoid covid-19.By following heathy habits like walking,exercising and inculcating positive attitudes like love,kindness and helping the needy one can enhance ones resistance power.

• Mainain a social distance.Avoid crowds.

• Clean any objects you touch a lot.

• Use disinfectants on objects like phones, computers and door nobs by using soap and water.

• We must keep our body and mind healthy,by doing physical exercises,yoga,Dhyana and meditations.

• We must keep our rooms clutter free and clean neat.Even our toilets  are to be kept clean by flushing water only after covering the lid of the latrine box.

• The last but not the least suggestion is  not to be panicked .even your result shows positive,don’t worry, don’t be scared.Chances are there many that  get a positive changed to negative. Nothing can kills us if we are confident ,because the number of discharged people’s rate is far greater than the death rate(1 to2 percent).Some people take the decision of suicide and killing one self in haste..I think this is utterly foolish.As there are number of exa of positive cases getting cured after proper treatment.

• The food we take is also very important to avoid covid- 19,so we must take nutricious food as per the advice of the doctor.

• Unlike animals, we the humans are

Carrying and spreading this deadly disease to others.Every life is important and precious.That is why,by distancing  oneself from others is the way  to  render a great service to humanity.

STAY HOME,STAY SAFE.Thank you
