In this era of COVID-19 pandemic, every government in each country and territory of the world is doing its best to have a victory over the COVID-19 multisectoral crisis. With the presence of such countless multidirectional negative impact of COVID-19, still all recommendations from Nationals, Regionals, and International setups including WHO focuses on transmission-based precautions. Transmission-based precaution could be highly successful if all features of COVID-19 are identified completely, but it is not yet so far.

Transmission based precautions are a higher level of precaution, which includes all of the requirements of standard precautions plus additional precautions based on the presumed (or known) mode of transmission.
