Present Scenario:
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly
discovered coronavirus.

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate
respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people,
and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the
COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and
others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub
frequently and not touching your face. 

The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from
the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also
practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However,
there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will
continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become
available. The COVID-19 virus affects different people in different ways.  COVID-19
is a respiratory disease and most infected people will develop mild to moderate
symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment.  People who have
underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of
developing severe disease and death.

Common symptoms include:

 fever
 tiredness
 dry cough.

Other symptoms include:

 shortness of breath
 aches and pains
 sore throat
 and very few people will report diarrhoea, nausea or a runny nose.

People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should self-isolate and
contact their medical provider or a COVID-19 information line for advice on testing
and referral.

Key Issues & Challenges:

CFS, Shipping Lines, Airlines – Working at 5% and specially for essential goods.
We face delay in getting bookings / space confirmation & responses.
 
Customs – Working with 5% manpower capacity & are now clearing both essential &
non-essential goods. However, there is time delay for clearance due to the backlog.
 
Transport – Dock stuffing is suspended, hence ONLY FCL cargo, factory stuffing is
possible & movements are being arranged accordingly. All cross-border state
transportation within India has been closed with exception to basic amenities & food
for personal consumption. Very few are holding passes within the city and need at
least 2 days advance booking with very exorbitant rates.
 
Factory – Most of the factories are closed until further notice. Those factories
pertaining to personal consumption of essential commodities will continue to work
with limited capacity but due to transportation they are also struggling.

Solutions & Suggestions:

 Government of India is taking all necessary steps to ensure that we are prepared
well to face the challenge and threat posed by the growing pandemic of COVID 19 –
the Corona Virus. With active support of the people of India, we have been able to
contain the spread of the Virus in our country. The most important factor in
preventing the spread of the Virus locally is to empower the citizens with the right
information and taking precautions as per the advisories being issued by Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare. Further, we are also getting inputs regarding individuals
and companies who have developed technologies and innovative solutions,
Bioinformatics, datasets, Apps for diagnosis etc that can be leveraged for
strengthening the fight against Corona.

People have stay at home and operate with the government and its policies.
Whatever the government is taking strict measures for the sake of the people we
should be bound to that because if the diseases come to one person it can be
spread to 60 people. So, we should stay at home!

Conclusion:

hygiene like washing the hands, covering the mouth with the masks, maintaining
social distance. In the present scenario the health and hygiene as to be maintained.
Maintaining social distance is very important at the present so the we can be safe us
