Which cells are found in COVID-19 patients 'bode-well' for long-term immunity ?
- A.
P - Cell
- B.
D - Cell
- C.
T - Cell
- D.
Endothelial cells
Correct Answer
C. T - CellExplanation
T-cells are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune response against viral infections like COVID-19. They are responsible for recognizing and killing infected cells, as well as coordinating the overall immune response. Therefore, the presence of T-cells in COVID-19 patients suggests that they have the potential for long-term immunity against the virus.Rate this question:

How does coronavirus transmit ?
- A.
When a person sneezes or coughs and the droplets fall on surface & spread in the air.
- B.
If another person nearby inhales the droplets or touches the surface and then touches his mouth, face or eyes.
- C.
If the distance is less than 1 mtr. from infected person.
- D.
All of the above.
Correct Answer
D. All of the above.Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above." This is because the coronavirus can transmit through various means. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, the droplets containing the virus can fall on surfaces or spread in the air, making it possible for another person nearby to inhale the droplets or touch the contaminated surface and then touch their mouth, face, or eyes. Additionally, if the distance between the infected person and another person is less than 1 meter, there is a higher risk of transmission. Therefore, all the mentioned options contribute to the transmission of the coronavirus.Rate this question:

In which age group COVID-19 spreads
- A.
In all age groups
- B.
Infection is mild in childrenÂ
- C.
Older persons & persons with pre-existing medical conditions are at high risk.
- D.
All of the above.
Correct Answer
D. All of the above.Explanation
COVID-19 can spread in all age groups, making all individuals susceptible to contracting the virus. While it is true that infection is generally mild in children, they can still become infected and transmit the virus to others. Older persons and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions are at a higher risk of developing severe symptoms and complications if they become infected with COVID-19. Therefore, all of the given statements are correct, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures and precautions for everyone, regardless of age.Rate this question:

From where did coronavirus got its name ?
- A.
Due 2 its crown - like projections.
- B.
Due 2 their leaf - like projections.
- C.
Due 2 their surface structure of bricks.
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
A. Due 2 its crown - like projections.Explanation
The coronavirus got its name due to its crown-like projections. These projections are actually spike proteins that cover the surface of the virus, giving it a crown-like appearance under a microscope. These spikes play a crucial role in the virus's ability to infect host cells. The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin word "corona," which means crown or halo.Rate this question:

Can my dog give me COVID-19 ?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
Dogs cannot give humans COVID-19. According to current scientific knowledge, the virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets between humans. While there have been rare cases of pets testing positive for the virus, there is no evidence to suggest that dogs can transmit it to humans. However, it is still recommended to practice good hygiene when interacting with pets, such as washing hands before and after handling them.Rate this question:

- A.
Hospital - grade disinfectantÂ
- B.
A disease carrier
- C.
A contaminated object or surface
- D.
Immunity boosting supplement.
Correct Answer
C. A contaminated object or surfaceExplanation
A fomite refers to a contaminated object or surface that can potentially transmit infectious diseases. It can include items such as doorknobs, cell phones, or countertops that can harbor and transfer pathogens. The term "fomite" is commonly used in the field of epidemiology to describe the role of inanimate objects in the spread of diseases.Rate this question:

When do symptoms start appearing ?
- A.
1 - 5 days
- B.
2 - 14 days
- C.
6 - 8 days
- D.
15 - 20 days
Correct Answer
B. 2 - 14 daysExplanation
Symptoms of a certain condition or disease start appearing within a range of 2-14 days. This means that it can take anywhere from 2 to 14 days for noticeable symptoms to manifest after exposure to the condition or disease. It is important to be aware of this timeframe in order to monitor and identify any potential symptoms and seek appropriate medical attention if necessary.Rate this question:

How much alcohol should the sanitizer contain ?
- A.
20 %
- B.
60 %
- C.
100 %
- D.
75 %
Correct Answer
B. 60 %Explanation
The sanitizer should contain 60% alcohol because this concentration is effective in killing germs and bacteria. Alcohol acts as a disinfectant by denaturing proteins and disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms. A concentration of 60% strikes a balance between being effective in killing germs and being safe for use on the skin. Higher concentrations may be too harsh and can cause skin irritation, while lower concentrations may not effectively kill germs. Therefore, a sanitizer with 60% alcohol is considered optimal for maintaining proper hygiene.Rate this question:

Those who have travelled to countries with the outbreak have to undergo
- A.
Quarantine
- B.
Isolation
- C.
Exposure
- D.
Therapy
Correct Answer
A. QuarantineExplanation
The correct answer is quarantine. When individuals have traveled to countries with an outbreak, they are required to undergo quarantine. Quarantine is a period of isolation or restriction of movement to prevent the spread of a contagious disease. It helps to ensure that individuals who may have been exposed to the disease are kept separate from the general population to monitor for symptoms and prevent further transmission.Rate this question:

What is the origin of this infection ?
- A.
Chicken
- B.
Bats
- C.
Dogs
- D.
Rats
Correct Answer
B. BatsExplanation
Bats are known to be the origin of many infections, including viruses like Ebola, SARS, and COVID-19. They are natural hosts for these viruses and can transmit them to humans through direct contact or consumption of infected bat meat. Bats have a unique immune system that allows them to carry these viruses without getting sick themselves. Therefore, it is highly likely that the origin of the infection in question is bats.Rate this question:
