The world has come to a halt, with COVID-19 a highly contagious disease spreading rapidly, every day throughout the world. The disease was first identified in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in China in December 2019 and spread quickly due to its highly contagious nature, to become a global pandemic. The perils of the pandemic have infected over 9 million people and have claimed over 472K lives throughout the world. India alone has more than 4 lakh confirmed cases and reported 14,011 deaths, until now.
Since a cure or vaccine to counter the effects of the Coronavirus has not discovered yet, people became homebound to stop the spread of the disease. It is advisable for everyone to stay at home in order to stay safe and only step out if essential. To contain the spread of Coronavirus, governments of many countries announced “lockdown.”
This “lockdown” has made people scared to step out of their house even in a dire situation. Many people have been ignoring major health issues and barding themselves from visiting a hospital to avoid catching Coronavirus.
Contrary to this, an individual should be more conscious about their health now more than ever and seek medical care even at the tiniest inconvenience.
The hospital cares about its patients and hence it adheres to all the guidelines of the government and takes all the necessary steps to ensure the safety of its patient.
