Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
During this hour of crisis globally and within India on the COVID-19 with the daily rise in the number of active cases, a rise in the number of death’s, unable to afford the treatment, loss of job’s, migrant workers moving back home etc. are very shocking and makes us wonder where the world is heading towards.

We look forward to your contribution to our effort in supporting the needy, your contributions will be utilized for the specific purpose you will be donating toward.
