It’s genuinely concerning as nobody has been able to find a remedy and COVID-19 seems unstoppable. Around 700,000 people have been affected worldwide and 33,000 people have lost their lives.

However, let’s not lose hope as it’s the only thing that can keep us going. We have witnessed the recovery of 145,000 people, which means that a cure is possible. Therefore, by maintaining social distance, and following the precautions mandated by the healthcare sector, we can control the damage.
