THE EARTH
PRESENTED BY:
SHREYA RAWAT
INTRODUCTION
• COVID-19 is a deadly disease declared by the World Health
Organization to be a PANDEMIC .
• It spreads through CORONA VIRUS.
• This virus is transmitted from person to person via droplets
when an infected person breathes out, coughs or sneezes.
• If droplets land on surfaces , the virus may survive for 24
hours on cardboard and up to 3 days on steel and plastic.
ORIGIN
• The Corona virus disease originated from China .
• The source of corona virus is believed to be the wet market in
Wuhan ,where both dead and live animals are sold. However, the
animal source has not yet been identified.
• The first warning of corona outbreak came from Dr. Li Wenliang of
China in december,2019 , who died 2 months later with the same
disease.
• The death of this whistleblower gained huge controversy when
people started questioning as to why the authorities silenced him.
HOW THE DISEASE WAS NAMED
• When seen through microscope, this virus seems to have structure
like a crown. Thus, the name ‘corona 'virus.
• World Health organization (WHO) named the disease COVID-19 on
11th February 2020.
• Later on, its similarity with SARS- CoV (severe acute respiratory
syndrome) ,2003 was highlighted by a group on taxonomy of
viruses.
• But it was decided to stick with the name COVID-19 to avoid public
confusion and fear. However, its official name is SARS CoV-2.
SPREAD
• By this time (31st march,2020) , the number of total cases
worldwide is more than 8,00,000 and death toll has gone up
to more than 39,500.
• In India, till now there are more than around 1400 cases and
35 deaths.
• Most affected countries are United states, Italy , Spain and
China.
• The condition is so bad that there are news claiming bodies
piled up in churches in Italy.
LOCKDOWNS
• Countries around the world is facing are implementing
measures to slow the spread of the corona virus , through
lockdowns .
• The practice of social distancing and self isolation is being
practiced.
• Various countries have declared total lockdowns with only
stores of essential commodities working.
• India has declared a lockdown of 21 days on 24th march
,which is likely to extend beyond that.
VACCINE
• There is no proper vaccine developed till now for COVID-19.
• The research groups all over the world are trying to make one.
• The United States has tested a vaccine on a lady named
Jennifer Haller , but the results may take months to come out.
• The Serum Institute of India has said that a vaccine for corona
virus disease may take one year to be formed.
WAY FORWARD
• The time that world is going through will surely pass .
• It is expected that we all be careful and take precautions , so
that there is minimum harm.
• It is hoped that scientists of various countries come up with
solutions and this catastrophe comes to en end as soon as
possible.
THANK YOU !
