Can we weather the Coronavirus storm? Are we learning the lessons to fight back?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe spread of any viral disease is influenced by seasonal changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight, and human behavior. The characteristics of the virus like survival, infection capability and pathogenicity are equally important to consider. These factors decide and influence the rain\u2019s impact on coronavirus<\/strong><\/a> in 2020.

Overview of COVID 19 in Rainy Season:<\/h3>\n

It is well known that the Indian monsoon activates<\/strong><\/em> the probability of diseases like malaria and dengue. This season speculation is on how we can protect ourselves beyond using face masks and gloves. Will the waterborne season begin another cycle of infection? Will we learn how to live with nature and its vagaries? Initially, it was thought was that rising temperatures in India will reduce the rising impact and spread or may even kill the virus. Sadly, it did not happen and the cases continue to rise alarmingly. Thus trials continue to take place worldwide. The scientists are still trying to study the monsoon impact on coronavirus<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Clinical Studies Continue:<\/h3>\n

COVID-19<\/a>, being a respiratory disease<\/strong><\/em>, shows symptoms of influenza or the common cold, which is prevalent during monsoons<\/strong>. As part of hygiene, we will continue to wash hands with soap and water. It is the simplest protective factor. Initial studies show that rainwater dilutes and cleanses the surfaces. However, the symptoms of the virus remain. People spitting on the road is a critical factor that decides how the infection spreads during this monsoon season<\/strong><\/a>. Continuous studies over seasonal impact spread over a number of years will give conclusive evidence on it.

Protection Tips:<\/h3>\n

As most airborne viruses have similar symptoms, diagnosis is often difficult. We have advanced healthcare centers<\/strong><\/a>, clinics, and diagnostic labs<\/strong> where it is important to get tested. Correct analysis often delays the right treatment. So, the first protection tip is to find the right diagnostic center to get tested. If the symptoms are merely of common cold and cough you can breathe easy. As the raindrops keep falling over our heads, it is clear that all traces of the virus cannot be washed away.
