Coronavirus and My perspective

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. Around 210
countries have been affected by this virus with 2,000,231 confirmed cases and 126,758
deaths. Because of the virus, the whole is in great danger. As this a very contagious disease,
everyone is to maintain a safe social distancing and take necessary precautions to keep
oneself and others safe.

According to WHO – ‘Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a

newly discovered coronavirus.’ Most infected people will experience mild to moderate
respiratory illness and recover without any special treatment. COVID-19 spreads through
droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person sneezes or coughs.

The COVID-19 virus is a highly contagious disease, we all have to maintain social distancing
by being quarantined at or home. All the educational institutions, offices, shops, factories are
closed down. Poor people are suffering the most in this condition as they have no job to earn
thus struggling to manage their ends. People are getting bored being at home, not going out
for a walk or not getting the touch of sunlight for days after days. But this quarantine
situation also has some good effects. We are now getting more time to spend with our
families. Also, we can utilize this time to gain certain skills or improve our hobbies.

In this pandemic situation, our most important contribution is to maintain social distancing
and staying at home to limit the spreading of the virus. We should also help the poor people
by providing daily necessities. I along with a social activity club of the area helped the local
needy people. Also distributed hand sanitizers that we made among people of the area.

The COVID-19 virus is a pandemic virus as it reached the community transmission phase. As
there is no vaccine, the condition for infected elderly and children are very severe. The death
toll is increasing day by day. To limit the spreading we should stay at home, maintain
distancing, wash hands regularly, use tissue while sneezing or coughing and stay healthy. We
can improve from this condition one day by our joint effort.
