Corona now an International concern


Finally, the Word Health Organization's (WHO) director-general Dr. Tedros has declared that the novel coronavirus or the 2019-nCoV is now a public health emergency of international concern.

It is very promising that this declaration has finally been made. Though much awaited, this may have been a little late fo this. Precautions against the virus should have been serious from the get go. There have been observations about the virus spreading even in asymptomatic conditions but, the regular Screening at airports still is based on thermographic imaging or temperature screening via thermometers. This is futile since the virus can safely dwell in a carrier without producing any symptoms such as fever or cold. Many such asymptomatic cases have passed through the screening and might have been the seeds for new clusters of infection.

Now let's hope that countries all around the world step up their efforts to curb the transmission of this deadly virus.
