New Delhi: At a time, when most powerful countries of the world have become biggest victim of the deadly Covid-19, India is turning out to be the bright spot in the otherwise frightening scenario worldwide.
Developed countries like America, Italy and Spain have recorded more than 10,000 Covid-triggered deaths but India has contained it to a huge extent, restricting the number of infected persons below 10,000.
At this juncture, India’s death rate stands at 0.4% while Japan (another Asian nation to contain Covid-19) registered 2.9% deaths.
India to go which way – Japan or Italy?
There are talks of India going which way – Italy, which has been severely affected or Japan, which managed to flatten the curve in early course of Corona outbreak.
Not just in terms of casualty, the rate of infection also remained largely in control in India, mainly because of early lockdown implemented by the government.
Comparing the data of first 100 Corona+ patients, it is found that India stands much ahead of its Western peers. In countries like US, Italy, Spain, South Korea, the pandemic spread like wildfire while in India, the early shutdown helped restrict the chain of transmission.
India’s Covid-19 could make or break global war, said WHO
Iran registered more than 5,000 Corona cases, South Korea and Italy was no different.
Applauding India’s swift response to Covid-19 outbreak, the World Health Organisation (WHO) also said India’s fight could make or break the global war.
It said India has a tremendous capacity to deal with the pandemic as it has experience of eradicating smallpox and polio.
