Dear Readers,

          From the Coordinator’s Desk!

Greetings!
         I hope everyone is doing well and fine during this COVID-19 Pandemic. Most people who fell sick with COVID-19 experienced mild to moderate symptoms and recovered without any special treatment. However, aged people and people of all ages with pre-existing cor medical conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, or cancer) developed serious illness more often than others. Hence, follow the Government guidelines and maintain personal hygiene at all times. I am glad that our Country is doing well in controlling the disease by imposing lockdown and people are staying safe as best as they could. During the lockdown it is important to stay physically active, eat healthy diet and have sound mental health. Listen to advice and recommendations from our national and local authorities. Keep up with daily routines as far as possible, or make new ones. Follow trusted news channels, such as local and national TV and radio, and keep up-to-date with the latest news on awareness of COVID-19.
         This newsletter has some interesting contents, an article regarding factors in containment of COVID-19 virus in India providing insights on our traditional medicine, food habits, etc. along with other topics such as how researchers measure cancer cell mechanics in living animals using nanoparticles, sensitive new test to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in just 10 minutes and many more. Hope you find these information interesting!.
