Coronavirus Pandemic: An Indian Perspective

Abstract

The world is not the same after it has been affected by the corona virus pandemic. The cosmos has probably made us realise that nations are not super-powers but mother nature is. The world has come together to fight a virus of the diameter of 0.125 microns and the fight is still on and the virus is not ready to give up. Quarantine, Isolation, social distancing, staying indoor, avoiding mass gatherings are few simple, practical, economical ways of fighting the spread of the virus which India is following and hopes to have a favourable outcome. There is a lot of controversy whether who should use a mask and who should not and the issue has been addressed. Hand hygiene, use of soap and water to wash hands, use of hand sanitizer and the mental effects of the lock-down have been discussed. In this article, we will list and discuss the impacts the corona virus pandemic has had on human life and the way humans have responded to fight against the virus from the Indian perspective.
