It is mostly claimed that Wuhan has a wet market which resulted in the creation of such lethal disease. The disease from the SARS-CoV-2 virus is called COVID-19. People experience various discomfort and pain while suffering through COVID-19 and the worst part of this harmful influence can be spread from one person to another without showing any symptoms of Coronavirus. A disease that started in China resulted in spreading worldwide and resulted in thousands of infected patients.

Think of it like common flu or cold, but the consequence turns out to be more severe and tragic.

The virus transforms from the infected person to you through any physical body part of exposure. The microorganisms also succeed in causing conjunctivitis. Although a lot of people have switched to masks, your eyes are in no form of protection and are under active exposure to viruses. You can wash your body part if you come under an infected person, but you can't help yourself when the virus directly attacks your eyes.
