Corona virus is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person(Generated through coughing and sneezing) and touching our faces contaminated with virus. The COVID-19 virus may survive on surfaces for several hours, but simple disinfectants can kill it. One of the most effective ways we have to protect ourselves and others from illness is good personnel hygiene.

Support to install bore wells
Raise Funds for Support to install bore wells for Andhra Pradesh
Many Indian villages are underdeveloped in that they have lack of uninterrupted water supply. CERDS is installing low cost bore wells in the coastal villages of Andhra Pradesh by using simple technology and material such as sand, cement and brinks that is locally available. Each bore well which costs INR 7,000 can help a minimum of 30 families. This includes the cost of Hand Pump-set with pipes and fittings, labour costs for manual construction and transportation costs.
As the novel corona virus spreads, more people may be put under home quarantine. As the corona virus pandemic escalates, Governments across the world putting their people in lock down or preparing to do so. In India, most of the local Governments have declared an emergency and shutdown schools, shops, and all public gatherings. As a measure of social distancing and to contain the spread of the virus, many states have announced lock down in India till 14th April 2020. This may be continues later.
Under the prevailing circumstances the daily or contract wage earners are the worst hit because they are dependent on their daily earnings to meet the basic needs.
