Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS– CoV–2) is named as Corona-virus that causes Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Corona virus disease is transmitted from people to people through respiratory droplets and contact routes.1 Droplet transmission occurs through close contacts with someone who has COVID-19 symptoms. Hence, Corona virus disease transmission occurs by direct contact with infected people or by contacts with surfaces in the immediate environment or objects, used by infected persons. Thus, people may acquire Corona virus disease through air or after touching contaminated objects even after hours.2 Airborne transmission of the disease could be possible in specific circumstances and settings. WHO declared outbreak of COVID-19 disease a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020.3
