In the very beginning when the scientists, in Virology Laboratory in Wuhan in China noticed this, they were not much serious about the severe outbreak of the virus which later went on spreading from person to person and made them infected. A 55-year-old could have been the first woman from Wuhan, China to be infected from Coronavirus on November 17, 2019. Since then the cases began piling up rapidly initially in the town, then in the city and country and now it is being faced across the world.

As we all know that every advertising company and all the TV shows including the celebrities individuals are running a campaign that #stayhomestaysafe etc. this is the initial step that we have to follow to keep ourself safe from coronavirus, but this is not the only way to keep the corona away from us, we need to use a mask on the mouth, say no to handshake, wash your hands at least for 20 seconds and then sanitise them with any alcohol-based sanitiser after every 20-30 minutes, much better if you wear gloves also.
