Thank you brother @sahmie for organizing such a beautiful event.

What are some common ways that communicable diseases are spread among people?

Below are some of the common ways infectious diseases spread between humans.

Various viruses can cause disease, some of which can infect humans. Those viruses enter the body through multiple routes, including the nose, mouth, eyes, anus, genitals, or the skin.

  1. By rectal, oral, or vaginal route.

  2. Through coughing or sneezing from an infected person.

  3. From an infectious mosquito or animal bite.

  4. By drinking contaminated water, and eating infected food.

Infectious diseases are spread through the above reasons.

How can good hygiene practices help prevent the spread of communicable diseases?

The role of hygiene in preventing the spread of infectious diseases is immense.

  1. Bathing, keeping hands clean, cutting nails, washing and changing clothes, etc.

  1. Hygiene is mainly linked to medical care and taking medicines so the disease can be reduced by treatment and therapy.

  2. Integral aspects of daily life such as social spheres, public transport, workplaces, public places, etc. reduce disease transmission.

  3. Reduces transmission of food contamination, food poisoning, and foodborne illness.

Why is it important for individuals to seek medical help if they suspect they have a communicable disease?

The main reason for this is to keep yourself healthy and to keep the people around you healthy.

It is a contagious disease that infects each other. Some infectious diseases lead people to death. It can be seen that all the family members have died due to infection.

Can you think of examples of communicable diseases and how they have impacted communities?

Therefore, to save or keep yourself healthy, nearby people or family, if you suspect an infectious disease, you should get treatment immediately.

Examples include infectious diseases

▪️Malaria,
▪️HIV/AIDS,
▪️Influenza,
▪️Covid-19, and
▪️Monkey pox

I am talking about covid-19. As we all know, COVID-19 has weakened our economy. Many people have lost their lives in the world through this virus. This virus was so contagious that the mother was forced to push away the son or even the mother. Because this virus has taken a very serious shape. Moreover, being in home quarantine, being clean, and taking some medicines prescribed by the doctor could have given some relief.

How do public health measures like vaccinations and quarantine help control the spread of communicable diseases?

Public health measures such as vaccination and quarantine have helped control the spread of infectious diseases.

For some infections, vaccines or drugs are not immediately available as an antidote to the virus, but they have been available for some time. Therefore, vaccination or medicine can control these diseases.

If he becomes infected with this disease, he must take public health measures such as quarantine. He had to do everything alone while maintaining cleanliness, eating, drinking, walking, and bathing. He had to wear different clothes. Such services were provided in public health.

I would like to invite my friends @roshani96 @avalanch and @mehwish-almas to take part in the contest.
