The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to 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 essential 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, many ongoing clinical trials are evaluating potential therapies. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available. Stay informed: The number of reported covid-19 cases in India rose 34 percent over the past two days to 4789, data from the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) published last evening showed. This is a slower increase compared to the previous 48 hours when the reported case count rose 40 percent to 3577. Data aggregated from state government officials suggest that the case count breached the 5000 marks by late evening yesterday. India’s trajectory has been steep and steady over the past few days. India’s curve is still flatter than that of the US, which has emerged as the new global epicenter of covid-19. Yet, it is steeper than Asian peers such as Singapore and Japan. Both countries had managed to flatten their trajectories in the early days through focused screening and testing. But the second wave of infections suggests that their efforts might not have been still enough.
