Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic resulted in 57,956,793 cases and 1,378,563 deaths as of 21st November 2020. Certain parts of the globe are experiencing an acute rise in new cases of COVID-19, whereas it is under control in certain areas. Use of mask, social distancing hand hygiene and other preventive measures played important role in the control of spread of infection. In spite of all the preventive measures, some part of the world is experiencing acute rise in new cases of COVID-19. In areas with high relative humidity, the aerosol droplet remains in the air for longer time, resulting in increased risk of infection to greater number of people.
