CoviD 19 is assuming pandemic proportions. Keep safe distance, avoid travel, 
use masks and gloves Govt ha s taken steps to contain and that is the best  
solution.
 Masks , gloves , sanitisers are in short supply and fake sanitisers  are 
flooding the markets , other essentials ate off the shelved,The crowded buses, 
trains etc are a  biggest problem. Restaurants, cutlery ,cups, even visits to 
libraries are to be avoided. South Korea the lift buttons are culprit they 
found. Surfaces that come in contact must be sanitised on a routine basis Those 
in age groups of 20-30 are presumed to be carriers with out external symptoms  
Hence mass testing is the need of the hour
Americans on.  pilot  studies found large   number of germs, viruses, bacteria 
on  currency notes that are routinely  changing hands .The cashier and even 
ordinary citizens must consider  this  as  crucial source of contagion 
.Touching of taps, light switches, flush knobs, handles of doors even at home 
can spread contagion .Disposal of masks, tissues gloves must be done  on  a 
scientific basis .Testing negative at one point is no permanent guarantee of 
immunity 
Those affected seriously are to quarantined, isolated to prevent  contagion  
and their own revovery. Considering the economic considerations in IndiA 
,central Govt must provide financial assistance and facilities for testing, 
information and ready, steady availability of essential supplies on a war 
footing .India will be in a disastrous situation if virus spreads in the 
community .The rapid spread and not the fatalities  are major concerns.  
Statistics of  greater human toll  annually by other known diseases is no 
consolation   , as lethargy in present case . Efforts  to find a vaccine, 
global cooperation and measures by countries must be adopted quickly
