Difficulty in breathing and cough are also known symptoms associated with the disease. Cough droplets are the major sources for transmission of the infection and therefore, we should be cautious in every step we take when out of home as well as at home. We should not give up, panic and fear, instead take measures for prevention and to fight against it.
