Question

In the Herd Immunity assignment, you saw visualizations of diseases like Seasonal Flu, Ebola, and Measles spreading through populations at various levels of vaccination. In the event of a new, or "novel" disease there is no vaccine available. This is comparable to the infection rates you saw at 0% vaccination. T

he pandemic we are currently living through is caused by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19. Explain how, in the absence of a vaccine, social distancing can help to slow the spread of disease.

Answer 1

COVID-19 virus is spread between people due to close contact (small droplets ,sneezing,and while talking with infected person)

commonly this virus is transmitted by touching a contaiminated surface and then touching their face.

as we say prevention is better than treatment so we have to take safety step like hand washing ,maintaining physical distance from other ,qurantine. until the vaccine hasn't come out

so the social distancing and qurantine might be helpful to slow the spread of disease.
