When certain percentage of the population becomes immune to certain disease, in this case COVID-19, then they provide an indirect protection to the rest of the population who is immune to it. How this is achieved is when if I get infected with COVID-19 is , I will get develop certain antibodies against it and eventually when a vaccine comes up, the person who takes the vaccine will be immune to it and the rest of the population will e indirectly protected because of the people who have been infected or develop antibodies towards it is estimated that 70% of the population has to develop immunity of herd immunity to be effective against COVID-19. However this comes at a considerable cost because the more number of people who gets affected with COVID-19, it puts a higher amount of stress on the health care sector. But the huge number of cases end up becoming fatal, if the number of cases increases drastically and the medical management becomes difficult. With each passing week, we are leering newer and newer things against COVID-19, and we are developing better strategies against COVID-19. Till that time, stay safe and keep yourself sanitized and make sure you maintain social distancing.
