Coronavirus: Hospitals, Buses And Metro Will Be Disinfected Regularly

According to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, hospitals, DTC and cluster buses, and Delhi Metro will be disinfected regularly to protect its citizens from Coronavirus.

The Chief Minister said that to prepare, 25 hospitals have set up 168 isolation beds. Delhites should inform the government if they know anybody who has traveled abroad in the last two weeks and shown signs of infection.

He further added that people needed to calm down as the government was ready to take on the disease.

The virus is believed to have come from Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which is a trading place for wildlife. On 23 January, to prevent the virus from spreading, the Chinese authorities put the city under lockdown. Some airlines have also suspended their flights to mainland China.

Up until now, there have been over 110,000 confirmed cases with more than 3,800 deaths globally. The most affected countries are China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, France, and Germany. India has 43 confirmed cases with 0 death. Among them, 16 are Italian tourists.

During the outbreak, Arunachal Pradesh decided to temporarily ban the entry of foreigners.

With the spreading of the virus, researchers around the world are racing to find a vaccine. Just recently, 15,000 medicinal molecules have been paid by the foundation to be shipped to a Rega Institute for Medical Research in Leuven, Belgium from the Scripps Research Institute in California for testing as a potential cure to the deadly virus.
