Also read.Where Did the Corona Virus Start?A few basic questions and answers to Corona.What are the Symptoms of the Corona Virus and How to Avoid It?Currently, the Corona virus is present in all continents except Antarctica and for the first time it is spreading beyond China.In large cities where people live and work together, the outbreak is likely to be a major cause for concern.Following are the problems facing major cities around the world, and at the same time we will take a look at what these cities have taken to address these issues.
Public transport.Public transport provides a conducive environment for the spread of the virus.When someone coughs or sneezes, the nasal or nasal passages on the joint surfaces of public transport are mainly responsible for the spread of the virus.According to research on influenza, people using public transport during the winter season are more than six times more likely to get a respiratory infection.That's why authorities from South Korea to Italy and Iran have ordered extensive cleaning of trains, buses and stations inside.
Large crowds.In events where people get excited for things like matches, there is the potential for the virus to spread and places already infected with the Corona virus.The Chinese Formula One Grand Prix in Shanghai has been postponed due to the outbreak of the Corona virus.Sixth Asian Champions League games have also been postponed. Four Iranian teams were participating.Rugby and football matches in Europe where Italian teams are participating have fallen prey to tattoos.But the biggest obstacle to the global sports calendar may be the Tokyo Olympics, scheduled to begin on July 24.Until now, Japan has been asked to cut off flashlight traveling to various cultural sites before the Olympics, but the International Olympic Committee has not ruled out canceling the Olympic Games in the event of a high prevalence of the Corona virus.Apart from sports, religious ceremonies are also banned.Saudi Arabia's government has announced that the entry of foreign visitors to Mecca and Medina Munawar has been suspended.
School.More and more governments are advising their schools to make plans to deal with the Corona virus.Schools and universities have been temporarily closed in countries such as Japan, Thailand, Iran and Iraq.School closings were not proposed in the United States and the United Kingdom, but four schools in the UK canceled all classes for deep cleansing as school students returned from Italy skiing.Parents who have recently traveled with their children to Iran, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Southeast Asia and northern Italy, have been urged to stay home and not send their children to school.
Offices - OfficesThe Corona virus is affecting business practices in one of the world's most important technology centers.Emergencies have been imposed in US cities San Diego and San Francisco, and employees working at offices have been instructed not to join hands with meeting attendees.Facebook has canceled an annual marketing conference in March, and major sponsors and exhibitors of the world's largest cybersecurity conference in San Francisco have refused to participate.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a directive that advises employers to encourage employees to work from home, especially if they have symptoms such as fever or shortness of breath.
Public AwarenessAccording to US officials, raising public awareness of the importance of such hand-washing measures is an important part of the fight against the Corona virus transmission.According to the World Health Organization, everyone should take the following steps to prevent the spread of the Corona virus:Wash your hands regularlyCover the mouth and nose while coughing and sneezingStay away from people with symptoms of respiratory diseases.Stay away from wild or farm animalsHospitalAs there is no cure for the Corona virus, hospitals are trying to relieve the symptoms.Patients have been urged to stay in Quarantine while medical staff have been advised to wear protective clothing to deal with potential cases.US and British officials have predicted that if Corona spreads widely, hospitals would have to postpone non-urgent procedures and treatment on the phone could increase.Another concern has been how the hospital will be able to cope with the increasing number of patients while already providing all their services.
Quarantine arrangements.People coming from affected areas in the UK are being told to keep themselves in quarantine.The epicenter of the Corona virus outbreak, the Chinese city of Wuhan and most of northern Italy, is currently closed.But experts say that as the virus spreads around the world, the effects of those restrictions will diminish.In other places, the implementation of these restrictions is difficult.'Perhaps very few countries can close cities like China did,' tweeted Tom Ingallsby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center of Health Security.According to US officials, closing the city will cut families apart, affecting people with supplies of medicines, basic food and goods.Tom Ingallsby says: 'These measures could hinder the delivery of medical supplies to doctors, nurses and hospitals, as has happened in China.
