2) Local transmission- when any asymptomatic infected person is in contact of other person then there has possibility of local transmission.in this situation the asymptomatic infected person who was in close contact of other person they must quarantine themselves.For this virus can’t spread out further.
3)Larger outbreak-when the asymptomatic person without his cognizance come close contact of any person then they may be infected with coronavirus.if any person show any kind of symptom such as fever,cough,snize, respiratory problem then they must approach to doctor.
4) Community transmission- where the population density is very high there has the possibility of community transmission.where the community transmission show in large scale that place is declared as hotspot and it is completely sealed.The asymptomatic or any suspected are admitted to hospital so that the transmission could be curbed.
5) India becoming pandemic of covid-19- The number of covid-19 patient is increasing day by day.so the govt has announced lock down nationwide.anykind of gathering is completely prohibited. There has no required infrastructure to treat the large number of covid-19 patient in govt hospital,so many private hospital,hotel,guest house have converted as treatment center.Even the railway has also arranged train coach as isolation ward.Testing of patient which is very essential so ICMR approved rapid test to catalyse the testing.keral is the first instance of such test.Govt has declared to consume the hydroxychloroquinine for doctor, nurse, health worker who are highly risk of infection as preventive measure.There has highly shortage of testing kit and ventilator so the govt has emphasized to produce it indigenously.The public places are being disinfected by sodium hypochlorite.
Conclusion- people should obey all govt instruction and maintain social distance so that this pandemic virus could be eradicated as early as possible.
