According to recent reports, a staggering 3.7 crore people have been infected with the coronavirus in China in a single day. This is the highest single-day infection rate since the pandemic began. The number of infections has increased significantly in recent weeks as the virus continues to spread rapidly throughout the country.
COVID-19 (short for "coronavirus disease 2019") is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China in 2019 and has since spread to become a global pandemic. Symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild to severe and can include fever, cough, difficulty breathing, body aches, and loss of taste or smell. Some people may have no symptoms at all, but can still spread the virus to others. COVID-19 can lead to serious illness or death, especially in older adults or people with underlying health conditions.
COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It can also be transmitted by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes. The Chinese government has implemented a number of measures to contain the virus, including travel restrictions and contact tracing. However, the rapid spread of the virus has led to an increase in the number of cases, leading to more deaths and a strain on the country's healthcare system.
