Answers
Answer:
Coronavirus outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, China on December 31 2019. Since then the global death toll from the deadly COVID-19 infection crossed 27,000 by March 27 2020. In India, the cases increased to 834 leaving 19 people dead. COVID-19 continues spreading in the world.
India’s economy was already facing a slowdown and the hit from coronavirus has virtually added fuel to the fire. Business is at standstill as the lock down has brought the economic activity to a halt. Goa too is witnessing a severe impact on the economy.
The Goan economy is dependent on the tourism and hospitality industry after the shutdown of mining industry. The coronavirus scare has affected tourism in Goa with crowds at its famed beaches thinning and hotels reporting cancellations.
Although Goa is an all year-round tourist destination the state’s ’peak tourist arrival is during a particular period and usually starts from December and lasts till early April. However in recent times owing to the MICE segment and FIT traveler Goa has been receiving a critical part of its tourists in the peak summer and monsoon seasons.
Answer:
In Goa we have completely ignored the impact of the opportunistic pathogens which are the main cause of death of viral attacks. The COVID-19 is a RNA virus which takes control of the human genetic machinery and uses it to produce viral particles. Per se it does not produce toxicity and kill the host. Scientists are debating too whether the COVID-19 virus is a genetically engineered virus or a mutant of a coronavirus which is found in most domesticated animals and also found in normal flora of humans.
