INFORMATION RELATED TO THE VIRUS:-

The COVID-19 PANDEMIC also is known as the CRONAVIRUS was identified in Wuhan a city of China in December 2019.

This virus is primarly spread between people due to close contact, moreover by the small droplets produced while coughing, sneezing, and talking. The droplets usually fall to the ground or onto a surface rather than traveling long distances through the air. Less commonly, people become effected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching their surface and then touching their faces. It is the most contagious during the first three days after the onset of symptoms, although the spread is possible before symptoms appear, and from people who do not show symptoms.

Shortness of Breath
Loss of sense of smell

Complications may include pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The time of exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around 5 days but may range from two to fourteen days.
