As per the media reports, this is the first time that COVID-19 cases have been reported in Delhi after almost three years. At the same time, new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in many states including Gujarat, Haryana, Kerala and Karnataka.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span>Know all the essential preventive measure of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Some of these could be true, but many of those informations are baseless. At a time when the coronavirus epidemic is spreading across the world, it is important to know about some facts related to this deadly virus. (A </span><b>Senior Scientist in Vigyan Prasar.  Dr. TV Venkateswaran </b><span> after various research findings, tells more about it provided </span><b>by PIB.</b></font></span></div>

<span><b>Infection:</b> The virus infects the epithelial cells in the throat and lungs. SARS-CoV-2 binds to the ACE2 receptors on human cells, which are often found mostly in throats and lungs. Virus on your skin, lacking ACE2 expression, will be harmless. The virus enters through the by nasal passage, eyes and mouth. Our hands are the main instruments that take the virus to reach our mouth, nose and eyes. Washing hands with soap water for 20 seconds as often as possible helps prevent the infection.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Infectious dosage: </b>A dose of 700000 PFU was needed to infect a Macaque.  PFU (Plaque forming unit) is a unit of measurement of sample infectivity. Although the animal did not show any clinical symptoms, the droplets from the nose and the saliva had a viral load. Humans will need a higher dosage than 700000 PFU to get infected. An animal study on the genetically modified mice with ACE2 receptors showed that it could be infected with SARS with just 240 PFU. In comparison, it required 70,000 PFU of novel coronavirus to get infected.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Infectious period:</b> Length of time an individual can transmit the infection to others is not known precisely, but possibly up to 10-14 days. Artificially reducing the contagious period is a crucial method of reducing overall transmission. Hospitalisation, isolation, lockdown and quarantine are all effective methods.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Who can infect: </b>Anyone infected with the virus can infect even before the symptoms appear. Most carriers do not even show signs. Covering our mouth and nose when we cough or sneeze will help reduce the infection. The virus is present in the saliva, sputum and faeces of the infected person for the whole infectious period.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #d52c1f; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="background-color: lime; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://competitivetimes.blogspot.com/2020/03/covid-19-ifrc-unicef-and-who-issue-new.html"><font color="#d52c1f" face="georgia">COVID-19: New guidance By WHO, UNICEF for Teachers, Parents to Protect Children </font></a></span></span></span></span></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How we infect:</b> Transmission is mostly via droplets. This requires relatively close contact, less than 6 feet. This is why it is recommended that we stay 1.5 metres away from each other in public places such as the vegetable market or supermarket. A study done in Hong Kong shows that social distancing can reduce the spread by 44%.  Inanimate vector of disease, in particular phones, doorknobs, surfaces are a potential source for transmission, but not much is known about it. It is safe sanitise out hands after touching doorknobs, lift call buttons and counters in public places.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How many we infect: </b> The average number of new infections caused by a typical infectious person, that is human transmissibility range (R0) is between 2.2 to 3.1. In simple word, one infected individual on the average infects about 2.2 to 3.1 persons.  By physical distancing, we can artificially reduce the actual transmissibility, thus slow the rate of infection.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Where did the virus come from:</b> It is not from eating bat soup. Once you boil, the virus is decimated. Initially, it was speculated that the SARS-CoV-2 virus jumped from bat to humans. But recent genomes study show first it must have leapt from bat to an intermediary species before it latched on to humans. Another study indicates that a lineage of SARS-CoV-2 virus was circulating in humans before the disease outbreak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How it evolved:</b> SARS-CoV-2 has emerged either by natural selection of virulent strain in a non-human animal host before zoonotic transfer to humans or natural selection of virulent strain in humans following a zoonotic transmission. Only more studies will show which of the two is right. We still are not clear what are the mutations in SARS-CoV-2 that allowed human infection and transmission.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>When did  SARS-CoV2 emerge:</b>  While here have been no documented cases of SARS-CoV2 before December 2019. However, preliminary genomic analyses suggest that the first human cases of SARS-CoV-2 appeared between mid-October and mid-December 2019. This means there was a period of unrecognised transmission in humans between the primary zoonotic event and the outbreak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Can it infect animals:</b><span> The molecular modelling suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can affect besides human, bat, civet, monkey and swine cells. Does not infect domestic animals or livestock. Consuming eggs or poultry will not result in SARS-CoV-2 infection.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Can one be infected twice: </b>Once we get measles, most of us acquire life long immunity. We hardly get measles again. Experimentally infected macaques were not capable of being reinfected. Likewise, there is no evidence of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 after recovery in humans. However, how long the immunity will last is unknown.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>How severe is the illness: </b>COVID-19 is not a death sentence. The majority of COVID-19 cases are mild (81%), About 15% need hospitalisation and 5% require critical care. That is the vast majority of the infected will not even need hospitalisation.</span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Who are the most vulnerable:</b> Healthcare workers are most susceptible. About 20% of healthcare workers in Lombardy, Italy becoming infected while providing medical care to patients.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Among the general public, aged, in particular above 60 years of age and people with prior cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory conditions have a higher risk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">What is the cause of the death: Most of the deaths is caused by respiratory failure or respiratory failure combined with heart damage. Leakage of fluid into the lungs, which inhibits respiration and leads to morbidity, is the primary clinical condition. At present, the treatment for COVID-19 is primarily supportive care, including ventilation if necessary. Several therapeutic trials are ongoing, and the results are awaited.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Are the virus transmitted by milk sachets, or newspapers: </b>SARS-CoV-2 can persist on plastic and stainless steel surfaces for up to 3 days. When the viral load was 10000 PFU, it lasted on newspaper and cotton cloth only for 5 minutes. Washing the milk sachets is adequate to remove the virus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Will it spread through the air:</b> In the air, the virus can survive only up to 2.7 hours. Therefore being in open spaces such as a balcony, the terrace is no harm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Is there a less virulent strain: </b>While many strains are being identified, studies so far have not indicated any mutations that are linked to any changes in transmission or disease severity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Will, the onset of summer or rainy season, gives respite: No strong evidence exists showing a reduction in transmission with the seasonal increase in temperature and humidity.  </span></div>

Further, she added that the ‘JIGYASA’ has indeed created a commendable impact not only among the students, but also enthusiasm among the scientists as well.

Dr Vijayalakshmi said that the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic has affected every sphere of our lives, most importantly social life, and passively affected the children’s psyche denying them their right to play, be it with their peers, apart from their studies.

Taking the session forward he suggested some measures to adopt in our day-to-day life: physical exercise, playing with kids, avoiding junk food, good sleep, wearing masks, balanced diet, and age-appropriate vaccination.

Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age. </span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;">World Health Organization (WHO) further says,  the Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease caused by a SARS-associated coronavirus. Coronavirus which has become a reason for globally concern is due to the new virus for the world...yes  COVID-19 which is linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: left;">COVID-19 is the short form commonly known as ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and ‘D’ for disease....Actually it is the disease which is referred to as ‘2019 novel coronavirus’ or ‘2019-nCoV.’ Coronavirus which has become a reason for globally concern is due to the new virus for the world..</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How does COVID-19 spread? </b></span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (generated </span><span style="font-size: large;">through coughing and sneezing). Individuals can also be infected from and touching surfaces </span><span style="font-size: large;">contaminated with the virus and touching their face (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth). The COVID-19 virus may </span><span style="font-size: large;">survive on surfaces for several hours, but simple disinfectants can kill it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause </span><span style="font-size: large;">pneumonia or breathing difficulties. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. These symptoms are similar to </span><span style="font-size: large;">the flu (influenza) or the common cold, which are a lot more common than COVID-19. This is why testing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">is required to confirm if someone has COVID-19.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In a bid to keep people aware about the disease, t</span><span style="font-size: large;">he International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO)  has issued guidelines and awareness about the COVID-19, in a bid to keep people aware about the same.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is the treatment for COVID-19? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no currently available vaccine for COVID-19. However, many of the symptoms can be treated </span><span style="font-size: large;">and getting early care from a healthcare provider can make the disease less dangerous. There are</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span>As with other respiratory infections like the flu or the common cold, public health measures are critical to </span><span>slow the spread of illnesses. Public health measures are everyday preventive actions that include:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
