Spreading of Communicable Disease Through Contact

Spreading of Communicable Disease Through contact:

Many diseases are spread when our skin comes in contact with an infected person, especially if our skin is broken due to a wound, scratch, etc. Diseases like scabies, herpes, ringworm (a fungal infection) and some types of anthrax can be spread in this way. Diseases can also be spread by touching things  like the clothes, bed sheets, or other objects used or touched by an infected person.

For example, when a man with conjunctivitis rubs his eyes while washing, the infectious agent gets on his hand. From there it gets on to the tap. His daughter can get infected if she touches the tap and then rubs her eyes. Corona disease can also spread through contact between persons. So, it is advisable to keep 2 metre distance from the other person. 

Some diseases like AIDS and syphilis are spread by sexual contact called as sexually transmitted disease.
