Hello Friends,
Hope you're safe. I am sending prayers, love & light to you. As  you've read the title & the whole world is going through this, the name Covid-19 doesn't need any introduction.

I thought a lot before writing this post. First, I decided not to write it as there's already so much on internet on this new coronavirus. But, then I thought I should write a post here sharing some positive vibes too.

As you know, ICTV announced "severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" as the name of virus on 11 February 2020 (Source: WHO)

Before we proceed, let me tell you that we're following all the guidelines and safety measures including social distancing and staying at home, we are also standing together facing this situation bravely. 

Being a qualified microbiologist, there are so many things to write but I will be making this post not so long as my aim here is to share some important things only that are essential for all.

Rumours can make this situation more difficult so it's very important to stop the spread of rumours too.

I request you not to believe rumours and please do not forward them through social media. Please beware of the fact that it can make situation worse.

Now, what you can do about this ?

Simply visit WHO official website and govt. official websites of your country for the right information.

More rarely, the disease can be serious and even fatal. Older people, and people with other medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), may be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill.
