Hi Shruti and Rahul ! Biological disasters are natural scenarios involving disease, disability or death on a large scale among humans, animals and plants due to micro-organisms like bacteria, or virus or toxins.
Got It Dad! Rahul heard the terms Epidemic and Pandemic from his science teacher. Can you tell us the difference between them ?
Sure Sweetie,
An Epidemic is generally defined as the process of rapidly spreading of within a short period of time into a large number of people in a given population infectious diseases. A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease. A pandemic is a larger version of an epidemic. In other words, when an epidemic goes out of control, it is known as a pandemic.
Oh! Got it Dad! That means Covid- 19 is a Pandemic.
Yes Kids!
Can you tell us more about Covid-19 ?
Your favorite cartoon character will help you learn about it. Let me call him!
It will be fun learning from him!
Yes! He will tell you about the symptoms, preventive measure and about it's transmission.
