Most infections spread either through respiratory tract, gastrointestinal route or physical contact. By observing simple hygienic practices and social distancing, spread of a great majority of such diseases can be prevented.
Unfortunately, hygienic practices, observed by the public during crisis period of spreading infection, tend to get diluted over the time and completely forgotten till another grave infection knocks at our door.
