COVID-19, which is threatening people across the globe was found initially in
Wuhan, a commercial capital in China. The Corona disease is caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS- CoV-2) which is a contagious virus.
It is said that the virus originated from bats in Wuhan wet markets, where customers
buy fresh meat.
The first case of COVID19 in humans was found in early December 2019. China
declared the spread of new virus (COVID-19) on January 12 2020. The first case of
Corona outside China was identified in Thailand on 13 January 2020. From then,
there was no stopping for the deadly virus as it started its outbreak across the world
much sooner than people would have expected.
WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic across the world on 11 March 2020
considering the intensity of Covid-19. The first case of COVID19 in India was
reported officially on January 30, 2020. Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi
announced a nationwide lockdown on March 24, which was then followed by various
relaxations to a new normal which was essential for the development of the country
after the lockdown.
Now, amidst COVID19, people started retrieving their normal life with utmost safety
precautions. As we keep moving forward despite Corona, we hope a near future
without COVID-19.
GO CORONA GO !!!
