Myths About Corona Virus

 


The rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic has brought the whole world to a halt. With over 1000 new cases getting detected each day, this pandemic has created terror and panic amongst all the citizens. Due to this, people have started making assumptions and believing in myths too.

Rumors and myths about coronavirus are spreading more rapidly than the virus itself!

Here are a few myths and facts about coronavirus that will help you understand what is happening and cut through the confusion.


Myth 1: Coronavirus cannot sustain at higher temperatures.

Fact: there have been cases recorded in countries that have temperatures of more than 25-degree Celsius. The spread of coronavirus is rapid all over the world. The heat of the sun DOES NOT burn out the virus. Taking precautions is the only solution to avoid this virus.


Myth 2: You will die if you catch coronavirus.

Fact: There are indeed a large number of deaths due to this pandemic. However, you can recover from this virus with proper medication. People with low immunity are more likely to catch coronavirus. Therefore, people must focus on their health and hygiene.


Myth 3: Coronavirus spreads through 5G.

Fact: Viruses do not spread through mobile networks. Cases have been reported in countries that have not adopted the 5G network. Coronavirus is an air-borne disease and spread through the cough and sneeze of the infected. Therefore, you must maintain social distance.


Myth 4: Drinking alcohol will protect you from coronavirus.

Fact: Consumption of alcohol will only cause damage to your liver, making you weak and more prone to coronavirus. You must keep yourself healthy and have good immunity. Excess alcohol will not protect you from coronavirus but will be dangerous.


Myth 5: Coronavirus is transmitted through mosquito bites.

Fact: Musquitoes DO NOT transmit coronavirus. Coronavirus spreads through the air, and any person who comes in contact with the already infected person can catch it. It spreads through touch. Therefore you must wash your hands thoroughly and frequently with an alcohol-based hand wash and keep yourself clean. So, these were the few of the many myths that are going viral over different social media platforms. However, it has become crucial to make people aware of the facts regarding this global pandemic that will reduce panic and fear among them and will help them to take proper measures to wipe out the existence of coronavirus.
