Preventive measures<\/strong><\/p>\nHand washing is key: wash for at least 20 seconds (singing your ABC\u2019s), vigorously scrubbing your hands repetitively.\u00a0 Do the same on your return from all outside visits.<\/p>\n
Do not touch your face, eyes, nose, or mouth if you have not recently washed your hands.\u00a0\u00a0 Do not go out if you are feeling sick with any cold or flu symptoms.<\/p>\n
Practice social distancing: stay as far away as you can (at least 3 feet) from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.\u00a0 If your area is under unusual severe threat practice the 3 feet rule for everyone.<\/p>\n
Cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow whenever you sneeze or cough.\u00a0 Immediately discard any tissues you use.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.manufacturer.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Prevention-Graphic-1024x807.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Clean all objects you touch frequently.\u00a0 It is recommended to use disinfectants for your phones, computers, utensils, dishware, and doorknobs.<\/p>\n
It is also important to continually disinfect surfaces to protect yourself from this and other viruses.<\/p>\n
Treatments<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is currently no treatment specifically approved for Covid-19.\u00a0 Possible treatments and vaccines are currently under intense study.<\/p>\n
Treatment now focuses on managing symptoms as the virus runs its course.<\/p>\n
Regional Responses<\/strong><\/p>\nAsia <\/strong><\/p>\nSouth Korea <\/strong>was the first country with the most confirmed cases and deaths after China.<\/p>\nSeoul\u2019s handling of the issue was much different from China\u2019s; directing awareness (via text messages) in an open and transparent (past movements of infected, their area, names of shops and restaurants they visited) instead of lockdowns.<\/p>\n
Using mobile phones the population reports symptoms, places visited, and personal contacts (via an app).\u00a0 (Look up what else is on the app) \u00a0\u00a0Continuously and vigorously cleaning public spaces.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.manufacturer.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/South-Korea-Covid-19-1024x1024.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
South Korea has not restricted people\u2019s movements.\u00a0 They counted on public cooperation rather than hardline measures.\u00a0\u00a0 They have entered a \u201cphase of stability\u201d with a major reduction of new cases.<\/p>\n
For international travellers South Korea introduced \u201cspecial immigration procedures\u201d for the most heavily affected countries:\u00a0 requiring passengers to undergo temperature checks; provide verified contact information; and completing health questionnaire.\u00a0\u00a0 (Try to find sample online)<\/p>\n
They have screened more people per capita for the virus than any other country by far.\u00a0\u00a0 This involved carrying out up to 15,000 tests per day.<\/p>\n
South Koreans have largely embraced self-isolation and social distancing on their own accord.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They cancelled or postponed events with mass gatherings.<\/p>\n
South Korea has emerged as a source of inspiration and hope for authorities around the world as they scramble in the battle against the pandemic.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong<\/strong><\/p>\nHong Kong was the first outside of China to implement \u201csocial distancing\u201d; many events were cancelled and venues were closed to minimize contact between people.<\/p>\n
Authorities produced a digital map of confirmed cases to allow people to avoid potentially infected areas.<\/p>\n
Taiwan <\/strong><\/p>\nTaiwan has pooled information from immigration and health insurance databases to track people\u2019s travel history and symptoms.\u00a0\u00a0 Most importantly, they used phone tracking to ensure compliance with quarantine.<\/p>\n
USA<\/strong><\/p>\nIs the largest economy and one of the last countries to start dealing with Covid-19? They have been slow to roll out nation-wide testing for those in need.\u00a0 The president seems to be in denial about many of the issues?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.manufacturer.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Italy-and-USA-Covid-19.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
On March 2, Washington State was the first to declare a state of emergency. California (March 5) and New York (March 7) followed suit.\u00a0\u00a0 On March 13th<\/sup> US President Donald Trump declared a National Emergency.<\/p>\nAs of now, the United States, has set up 78 state and local public health across 50 states, with a capacity to test 75,000 people.<\/p>\n
They are also adopting social distancing and they postponed or cancelled many events where the attendance exceeds 250 people.\u00a0\u00a0 All professional sports leagues have been temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n
These cancellations also apply to most of the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n
Europe<\/strong><\/p>\nThe disease has quickly spread to Italy, Spain, Germany, and France with Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Denmark close behind.<\/p>\n
Italy has reported the most infections with over 21,000 cases and 1,400 deaths.\u00a0\u00a0 That is a 7% mortality rate: higher than any other previously reported.\u00a0\u00a0 The entire population, 60 million people, are in lock down.<\/p>\n
In Europe, Italy has the highest number of air connections (tripled this past year) with China, higher than any other European country.\u00a0\u00a0 In early January 2020, Italy signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China to expand the air links between the two countries in order to expand tourism.<\/p>\n
Italy has the highest per capita rate of infections in the world.<\/p>\n
The government created the most stringent emergency situation: all public events, schools, universities, most stores, and restaurants have been ordered closed.\u00a0\u00a0 There are also strict regulations about the houses of worship.\u00a0 Italy as a country has closed down.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\nAs of now, the following seem to be the key issues in containing the virus:<\/p>\n
\n- Learning how the disease spreads<\/li>\n
- Determining how undetected and undocumented cases contribute to its transmission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Making sure testing is free for anybody anywhere.\u00a0\u00a0 Establishing drive through testing stations that can screen suspected patients in minutes.<\/p>\n
Adopting the best containment models used in various countries.\u00a0\u00a0 Quickly developing vaccines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
