The answer
Oh Gosh, this is really tricky question for me to answer. To be perfectly honest, I’m not deeply into science and not familiar with medical researches as well, however Corona Virus has increasingly become a global issue, so I’ll do my best to say something comprehensive about it.
Corona-viruses or (COV) is a large viral family that cause various illnesses ranging from the normal cold and cough to sever respiratory diseases. It is mainly found and common in animals like bats and cats, and recently has been appearing among humans worldwide and killed thousands indiscriminately, affluent and destitute, young and old. Among those who have become victims for that virus, the British Prime Minister, the German prime minister, the British crown prince, and some other celebrities including actors, vocalists and footballers.
Reasons:
Moving to the reasons, according to the scientists and doctors, this deadly virus is zoonotic which fundamentally outbreaks because of consuming certain animals. It is a contagious infection which transmits from person to person through the close contact. It occurs when the infected person sneezes, coughs or touches the other. .
Signs:
What’s more, the reports of the World Health Organization mentioned that the signs of this pandemic can be seen as cough, breathlessness, fever or breathing difficulties. If the infection spreads in the entire body, it will lead to failure of kidney and even death.
Precautions:
Concerning the necessary precautions, the scientists are still working to develop a vaccine for this international scourge, however that is taking a long time to be achieved and may not be expected to happen in the near future. Until then, the best course of action is to follow the usual precautions such as self-quarantine which is the key to keeping the virus from spreading along with other significant procedures like avoiding the contact with the sick, social distancing, frequent hand washing and wearing masks and gloves.
COVD – 19 is a global catastrophe which shall be dealt with caution and strict regulations to eradicate it radically. That is all I have to say about that.
