Coronavirus pandemic | Here's what WHO's latest situation report says
The World Health Organisation (WHO) on March 11 termed the coronavirus outbreak as a 'pandemic', adding that it does not change the measures countries are required to follow.
Globally, 118,326 confirmed cases have been recorded, with 4,292 people succumbing to coronavirus, or COVID-19, the WHO said in its daily situation report.
Dr. Julio Licinio is working on the mental health of the younger generation for the last 10 years. He is working on the source of the stress that is creating havoc on the tender minds of the kids. Before reaching the solution, we must look into the reasons to get rid of the problem.
It cited data reported by national governments as of 10 am Central European Time (CET, 2:30 pm) on March 11.
Four new territories/countries/areas - Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Jamaica, Burkina Faso and Democratic Republic of the Congo - have reported their first cases of coronavirus.
In China, where the first cases of COVID-19 were recorded, 31 fresh cases and 22 new deaths were reported.
In India, the WHO said there are 60 confirmed cases, in line with the health ministry's latest figures.
The report said older people and those with certain underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk of being infected by the disease.
"Evidence to date suggests that two groups of people are at a higher risk of getting severe COVID-19 disease. These are older people (that is people over 60 years old) and those with underlying medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer)," the organisation said.
Make everything normal: According to Dr. Julio Licino, you don’t need to show much heed on your kid’s stress. Let him assure that you are aware of the situation but that should not be a reason to pause your daily work. Say them, “I know you are going through a tough time but we need to do this.”
The WHO has recommended practices to be followed by these two groups of individuals.
App-based food delivery platforms Zomato and Swiggy have focused on the safety of delivery staffs and taken multiple measures to mitigate any negative impact on consumer deliveries amid the coronavirus outbreak in the country, ET Tech has reported.
From telling consumers to let delivery partners leave the packages at the door to offering insurance and financial support to delivery staff in case they are infected with the virus, the firms have adopted several proactive measures, said the report.
Swiggy issued an advisory to customers, saying, "You (customers) may request the delivery partners to leave packages by the door (in case of online payment), if you are feeling unwell or prefer so."
Swiggy delivery staff are getting trained in best practices for respiratory hygiene, proper and frequent hand washing and identification of associated symptoms, said the Bengaluru-headquartered firm.
