Abstract

In the wake of this government has issued some of the guidelines to prevent ourselves from this virus. Basically it is a virus so it transmits from one body to another through eyes, nose and mouth in a medium of water droplets. Showing the guidelines issued by a government was first emphasized on social distancing there's a beautiful line quoted by a great author that is prevention is better than cure which means it is better to take prevention then getting cured after the disease attacks you. Incrementing covid-19 social distancing is the most important thing that everyone needs to prevent themselves from this. Lockdown was also measured to do social distancing by keeping the most of the public inside the houses so there is least number of contact and spreading of virus in the human body.
