What is CoronaVirus (Covid-19) ?

  Coronaviruses are named for the spikes that increase from their surfaces, resembling a crown or such as the sun’s corona. They can infect animals as well as humans, causing illnesses of the respiratory tract. SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19). Coronaviruses, in general, are a group of viruses that targets and affects mammals’ respiratory systems. It was said earlier that COVID-19 can spread through the droplets from sneeze of infected Person or can be transmitted from touching the surfaces which were in contact with the Corona Infected person. If an infected individual sneezes on a surface then through the droplets it can transmit to other persons.

How it all started?

When humans do become infected with COVID-19 or any other Coronavirus, this typically happens via contact with an infected animal. It's being said by the scientist and researchers that 96% of Genom in COVID-19 is from bats, and 99% from Pangolins, It's not clear that this virus is made in Lab or spread by animals. According to researchers, Bat and Pangolin both of them infected the same animal and that animal was consumed by a human in Wuhan, And from there, the CoronaVirus (COVID-19) started to spread from person to person. 
        On the other hand, it can be difficult to determine the animal from which a coronavirus infection first starts spreading. In the case of the new coronavirus, early reports from China tied the outbreak to a seafood market in central Wuhan. As a result, Government and local authorities closed down the market on January 1.

How it can spread?

It was said earlier that COVID-19 can spread through the droplets from sneeze of infected Person or can be transmitted from touching the surfaces which were in contact with the Corona Infected person. If an infected individual sneezes on a surface then through the droplets it can transmit to other persons.

National Academy of Sciences says: that the novel coronavirus can spread through the air—not just through the massive droplets emitted in a cough or sneeze. Current studies says that “the conclusion of current studies are consistent with a sprinkling of the virus from normal breathing,” Harvey Fineberg, who heads a standing committee on rising communicable Diseases and TwentyFirst Century Health risks, wrote in a 1 April letter to Kelvin, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

How you can know that you are affected?

Similarly to previous coronaviruses, the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 causes respiratory disease, and the symptoms affect respiratory health. According to the (CDC)Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and shortness of breath.

How can we prevent from COVID-19?

As social distancing is becoming a major factor in the spread of COVID-19, it's also been said that individuals should maintain proper hygiene. Also, the individuals must maintain a gap of 1metre(3 feet) from the person coughing or sneezing. And now there is a lockdown in many countries to stop the spread of COVID-19. Peoples are recommended that they don't go outside in this lockdown. The infected one should keep them in self-quarantine or the one who have chances that they may be infected.

According to WHO Basic protective measures against the new coronavirus :

Wash your hands frequently

Maintain social distancing

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth

Practice respiratory hygiene

If you are facing fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early

Always stay informed and follow the advice given by your healthcare provider

How is it affecting humanity?

As all, we know that 1,286,409 cases are confirmed all over the world and almost 70,356 peoples have died as of April 6 according to CNN. So, COVID-19 is challenging the whole of humanity as there is no vaccine developed till today for curing COVID-19 only the thing we can do is prevention. Peoples all over the world are continuously dying, we shouldn't make any mistake which can make us and our family in danger.

       But also there is a little hope, as the 2,71,950 peoples over the world are recovered it shows that peoples can be cured by boosting their immune system.
