Corona Virus (COVID- 19) | Paragraph

 

COVID - 19 is a disease caused by a new strain of Corona Virus. 'CO' stands for Corona, 'VI' for Virus and 'D' for Disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 Novel Corona Virus' or '2019-nCoV’. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. According to the latest report of WHO, 27.69 million people have affected and 0.90 million people have died due to COVID- 19. The virus affects different people in different ways. The new Corona Virus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization. Although for most people COVID - 19 causes only mild illness, it can make some people very ill. More rarely, the diseases can be fatal. Older people and those with pre- existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes) appear to be more vulnerable. Symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, tiredness etc. In severe cases difficulty in breathing and deaths can occur. This virus is spreading indiscriminately. As prevention is better than cure we should prevent the spread of this virus. To prevent the spread of COVID- 19 we should clean our hands often with soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub. Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible. Should not touch our eyes nose or mouth. Cover our nose and mouth with our bent elbow or a tissue when we cough or sneeze. Stay home if we feel unwell. If we have a fever, cough and difficulty in breathing, we should seek medical attention. After identifying this virus the world have been stuck. Our life have been miserable. If we want to bring back our easy and happy life, we should be cautious about this virus and obey the safety rules properly.
