COVID-19 is a viral infection caused by a group of viruses, first discovered in Wuhan, China. When an infected individual coughs or sneezes, the COVID-19 virus spreads through droplets of saliva or nasal discharge. The virus infects the body through the nose, mouth, and eyes. According to some recently published research studies, the virus may be airborne and spread through fine infected droplets that remain suspended in the air or in closed air-conditioned environments such as offices, restaurants, shopping malls, and theatres – due to a lack of cross-ventilation – even if you are not in direct contact with an infected person. It is essential to lead an everyday life while adhering to the precautions and Standard Operating Protocols (SOPs) after recovering from the ailment.
