Covid19 Awareness Quiz Conducted By Iqac & Deptt. Of Physics, Indira Mahavidyalaya, Kalamb Dist. Yavatmal.

1. Mild Symptoms of Novel coronavirus are:

Fever

Cough

Shortness of breath

All the above

The mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are commonly observed in individuals who have contracted the virus. Therefore, the correct answer is "All the above."

Explanation

The mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are commonly observed in individuals who have contracted the virus. Therefore, the correct answer is "All the above."

2. How does Coronavirus transmit?

When a person sneezes or cough, droplets spread in the air or fall on the ground and nearby surfaces.

If the distance is less than 1 meter from the infected person.

All the above are correct.

The given answer is correct because all the options mentioned in the question are valid ways in which the Coronavirus can transmit. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, droplets containing the virus can spread in the air or land on surfaces. If another person is close by and inhales these droplets or touches contaminated surfaces and then touches their face, eyes, or mouth, they can become infected. Additionally, if the distance between the infected person and another person is less than 1 meter, the virus can easily transmit. Therefore, all the options mentioned are correct modes of transmission for the Coronavirus.

3. In which age group the COVID-19 spreads?

COVID-19 occur in all age groups.

Coronavirus infection is mild in children.

Older person and persons with pre-existing medical conditions are at high risk to develop serious illness.

All the above are correct

COVID-19 can spread in all age groups, as mentioned in the first statement. While it is true that children generally experience milder symptoms, it is not entirely accurate to say that the infection is mild in children. The third statement correctly states that older individuals and those with pre-existing medical conditions are at a higher risk of developing severe illness. Therefore, the correct answer is that all the above statements are correct.

4. Which of the following diseases are related to coronavirus?

MERS

SARS

Both A and B

Neither A nor B

Both MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) are diseases caused by different strains of coronaviruses. MERS was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and SARS was first identified in China in 2002. Both diseases can cause severe respiratory symptoms and have resulted in outbreaks with significant mortality rates. Therefore, the correct answer is "Both A and B."

5. From where coronavirus got its name?

Due to their crown-like projections.

Due to their leaf-like projections.

Due to their surface structure of bricks.

None of the above

The coronavirus got its name due to its crown-like projections. These projections are called spike proteins, which are present on the surface of the virus. When viewed under a microscope, these spike proteins resemble a crown or corona, hence the name coronavirus. This unique feature of the virus played a significant role in identifying and classifying it as a distinct type of virus.
