It is common knowledge that the coronavirus pandemic has spread all over the world and there is no way in which the pandemic can be stopped anymore.

Let us check out the current scenario and what the government has to say about the second wave and the ways to mitigate the damage of coronavirus spread.
Cause Of Coronavirus Spread
There are quite a few probable causes for the transmission of coronavirus and none of them can be completely prevented. It has been perceived that the disease is usually spread by aerosol particles in the air. It can also spread by direct contact with the patient who has already contracted the disease. The germ can remain active on metal surfaces for a long time and this can be considered as one of its dangerous effects.
Mutations Of The Virus
The virus in question in this pandemic is the RNA virus. These are mutating rapidly, and are resistant to the disease they cause. Hence, different forms of this virus are causing different effects in many individuals. The second strain of the virus has been found in Europe as well. A triple mutant form has been found in India and another one was found in Singapore. All of these are contributing to a large number of cases across the world of coronavirus spread.
