waste that could be carried on the soles of shoes.

Coronavirus, an infectious disease which can easily transfer from one person to another, has been
spreading unabated across nations. The deadly disease belongs to a large family of viruses that
cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. Due to coronavirus or
COVID-19 that had originated late last year in a food market in the Chinese city of Wuhan,
worldwide, thousands of people have died and lakhs have got infected. The World Health
Organization has already declared coronavirus as “Global Pandemic” as it has affected millions
of people around the globe.

In India, the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases and casualties are increasing with each
passing day. Amid the coronavirus scare in India, various states have announced a lockdown. The
government has also ordered states to "strictly enforce lockdown" and asked for legal action
against those who violated the restriction.

According to health experts, India's cases have been growing at a rate seen during the early stages
of the outbreak in other countries, which subsequently reported an exponential increase in
infections. As per the Indian Council of Medical Research, currently, India is in stage two of
transmission, where the virus infects people directly in contact with affected patients who
returned from abroad.
