Cases of Covid-19 first emerged in late 2019, when a mysterious illness was reported in Wuhan, China. The cause of the disease was soon confirmed as a new kind of coronavirus, and the infection has since spread to many countries around the world and become a pandemic.
As agreed by several experts, fighting battle with COVID pandemic is as big as World War II1. As mentioned by UN General Secretary, “We are facing a global health crisis unlike any in the 75-year history of the United Nations one that is killing people, spreading human suffering, and upending people’s lives”. This virus is spreading so fast that within 3 months after WHO’s precautionary announcement, total number of positive cases reached 1.8 Million while US alone reported 5lak cases. Most of the developed countries including US, UK , Germany struggling to contain it, India with population of 1.3 crore. With just one doctor per 1000 vs 3 doctors in developed countries controlling this Virus from rapid growth is not just uphill task but very critical too. Interestingly, India is still able to manage it at 6 cases per million against 1500 cases per million2 in US which makes it an interesting case study for disaster management.
