The Covid-19 pandemic has held almost every part of the world to ransom due to its ability to spread faster than a normal communicable disease. It has affected the world's economy and even the most strongest of holds like the world power "USA".
The root of this pandemic can be traced back to a little city called " Wuhan" in China where the outbreak began, the cause yet to be figured out. In Lew to this, blames are being shifted on whether the virus was spread due to poor containment of the virus or the virus is a lab made tool to take over the world power which later got exposed to the public.
The US and China has since been shifting blames on why the pandemic has gotten to this level in the world. Even smaller acquaintances like Africa and smaller nations has also joined in the game.
Well, there are shady hypothesis to how and why the virus has gotten to this level but there has been no proven statistics to affirmate the claims of these hypothesis.
Some claimed the virus is a lab made weapon to infect the rival nations of China,while China claimed the virus came into being from an animal yet to be known,but when scientists and researchers took a thorough look into this claims, none was affirmed.
The Us has since blamed China over late preventive measures against the virus, questions were raised as to why the Chinese government has to wait for 6 days before the virus was declared,it is said that the Virus could have spread to different countries unknown to them during this short period of time.
The Chinese government claimed they were taking their time to look into the virus before jumping into assumptions. Smaller countries like Nigeria also blame the developed countries for poor efforts put into the containment of the virus as it is the cause of its spread to their regions.
These blame games has since been going on between different countries, well what we need to look at now is how to put in place and practice the preventive measures the WHO has ordered in other to reduce if not curb the spread of the pandemic. The following are standard procedures that have proven to make a positive effect towards the containment of the virus.
-When going out wear face masks, stay away from people for at least two metres to ensure social distancing.
-Wash your hand from time to time with soap and water, in a situation where you can't find this use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.
-Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue and dispose immediately.
- Avoid touching your face.
- If there is no essential need to go out, stay home.
