COVID - 19 means Coronavirus disease started in the Wuhan City of China in 2019. The disease was started in Wuhan City in a seafood market through wildlife animals. Somehow it jumped from the wildlife animals to humans. Once one person gets infected then it spread through one human to another. The main mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talk. So when an infected person emits these respiratory droplets through cough, sneezing, or talking then these droplets can land on the surface or they can directly enter another human through the mouth, nose, or eyes.
When and Where: -
The very first case was reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan City of China. From that city, the virus spread to all of china, and then from China, it spread to the whole world. In India, the first case was reported on January 30, 2020, in Kerala. India currently has the second-highest number of confirmed cases in the world after the United States. Nowadays more than 90,000 cases are coming daily. However, the fatality rate is lowest in India as compared to other countries. The Contagious coronavirus outbreak has created menace around the globe. Umpteen scientists and researchers are working to restrict its growth especially in densely populated countries like India. Currently, there are two scenarios for India. The first is the most positive outcome i.e to believe that the proliferation process of the draconian SARS CoV-2 virus would be restricted by the hot temperature. A recent study in MIT reported that 90% of the coronavirus transmission has occurred within a specific temperature of 3 deg C to 17deg C and absolute humidity range. This provides a glimmer of hope for India, where winter is now dissipating.
The second scenario is the worst-case scenario where the pandemic virus would spread across India at a nasty rate and would impact a large number of people and even if it slows down in the summers it would be back in the winters.

Prevention and Cure-
As currently there are vaccines available for this virus and to prevent yourself from this virus follow the instruction given by WHO. To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
Maintain a safe distance from others (at least 1 meter), even if they don’t appear to be sick.
Wear a mask in public, especially indoors or when physical distancing is not possible.
Choose open, well-ventilated spaces over closed ones. Open a window if indoors.
Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.
Get vaccinated when it’s your turn. Follow local guidance about vaccination.
Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Stay home if you feel unwell.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance so your healthcare provider can direct you to the right health facility. This protects you, and prevents the spread of viruses and other infections. Properly fitted masks can help prevent the spread of the virus from the person wearing the mask to others. Masks alone do not protect against COVID-19 and should be combined with physical distancing and hand hygiene. Follow the advice provided by your local health authority.
Wash your hand regularly. Use warm water and soap and rub your hand at least for 20 seconds. ( Use alcohol-based Sanitizer if you cannot wash your hand)
Avoid touching your face.
Wear a Mask ( preferred homemade/N95).
Do not shake a hand and avoid hug
