In a serious effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced a 21-day lockdown in the entire country. “Every state, every district, every lane, every village will be under lockdown’’ Mr. Modi said. The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in India stands at 564. Twelve people have succumbed to the virus till now.
Nearly 400,000 people have tested positive for the virus worldwide, and around 17,000 have died. The death toll in India reached 12, with one person each succumbing to the infection in Delhi and in Maharashtra on Tuesday, and in Tamil Nadu early Wednesday.
The pandemic is a huge challenge to every country be it the U.S or any large economy. Even Italy which has world-class health system is struggling to fight against the virus.

In present scenario I believe that this disease too can be defeated if we remain at home and maintain all basic hygiene. It’s a matter of satisfaction that we Indians have sincerely followed the lockdown and hopefully it will break the chain of coronavirus.

The most worrying part of the episode is “there is currently no vaccine to prevent the corona virus disease COVID-19. The best way to tackle the illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. The virus can be spread from person-to-person via close contact within 6 feet and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Take stringent steps to protect yourself. Clean your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.Avoid close contact with people who are sick and maintain distance between yourself and other person if COVID-19 is spreading in your area.
Countrymen are also suggested to take steps to protect neighbours and other citizens. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in trash and if soaps and water are no readily available , clean your hands with sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Wear a mask if you are sick. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because if causes trouble in breathing),then you should do your best to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough and others should wear a mask when they enter your room. You do not wear a mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick. Cleaning and disinfecting is important daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desk, phones, keyboards, toilets, and sinks. If surfaces are dirty clean them and use detergents or soaps and water prior to disinfection. As COVID-19 the disease caused by the virus spreads, government, businesses and individuals around the world have undertaken unprecedented, wartime-esqe measures.
