Covid Cell
The spread of novel Coronavirus, or Covid-19 as it is commonly referred ,is rapid and ongoing engulfing the whole world. The first case of Covid-19 in India was reported in Thrissur, Kerala, on January 30, 2020, when a young medical student was presented to the hospital with a one-day history of dry cough and sore throat after returning from Wuhan, China. At the initial stage itself, the Government of Kerala boosted its health and hygiene department and took the necessary steps to contain the community spread and the patients were kept in isolation. When a catastrophe strikes the nation unawares, panic grips the people and the student community who are vulnerable feel insecure and have a difficult time coping with the situation. Considering this, authorities at Sahrdaya College of Advanced Studies decided to establish a Covid Cell in the College to timely assess the situation and educate the students about the disease and its prevention.
