Give reasons: common cold spread faster and is not easy to control

Open in App

Solution

Common colds are communicable viral infections that are spread through aerosols, physical contact, touching contaminated surfaces, etc. Therefore the infection spreads very easily from an infected person to a healthy person and the disease develops at a very fast rate. These infections are difficult to control because they are not easily diagnosed so anti-virals can be prescribed.
