Why should you avoid infectious diseases?

Answer 1

Infectious Diseases are ones which are easily spread from person to person and can often lead to an epidemic which potentially then leads to a high volume of hospitalisation or even death. Infectious diseases can be spread by direct or indirect contact depending on the type of disease. A common cold or Flu can be spread airborne or by touching an inanimate object such as a door handle if an infected person has already touched it. The spread of some disease is so rapid, it is important to quarantine infected persons to prevent epidemics.
