A new dashboard to track COVID-19 in wastewater samples across the country has been launched by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
COVID-19: Diet Plan and Lifestyle Modifications for the Unlock Phase
Healthy eating habits and adherence to physical activity are required during COVID-19 lockdown. WHO has prepared a set of general tips that you could follow during the lockdown to stay fit and healthy.

‘The CDC's Wastewater Surveillance tab will track SARS-CoV-2 levels in sewage at more than 400 testing sites across the US.’
Wastewater surveillance is a promising tool for tracking the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the CDC said on Friday. Many people with Covid-19 shed the virus in their faeces, so testing wastewater can help find the disease in communities.
Because increases of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater generally occur 4 to 6 days before corresponding increases in clinical cases, wastewater surveillance can serve as an early warning of increasing Covid-19 cases and help communities prepare, according to the CDC.
Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.

COVID-19 Less Severe in Fully Vaccinated
In totally vaccinated patients, the clinical and imaging COVID-19 characteristics tend to be milder than those of partially vaccinated or unvaccinated patients.
