Kerkhove said that people spend more time indoors during the winter season. In such a situation, if there is a lack of ventilation in the house, then the risk of spreading the disease increases. Let us tell you that these days there are going to be Christmas holidays in Western countries. This is the reason why there is a possibility of spread of corona or other respiratory diseases. He said that the coronavirus is spreading and currently 68 percent of corona cases are due to subvariant JN.1.
