What is Coronavirus?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
The COVID-19 is inciting panic for a number of reasons. It’s a new virus, meaning no one has immunity. It is highly contagious, meaning it spreads fast. Its novelty means that scientists aren’t completely sure as to how it behaves since they have very little history to go on.
How it spread?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.
You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of
someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then
your eyes, nose or mouth.

Around 1 out of every 6 people who get COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and
develops difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
While much of the world was still oblivious about COVID-19, the PRTH was already laying the groundwork for an aggressive system to fight the virus. As early as January 2020,
