Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to explore and understand the overall management of situation based in experience of Italy, China, USA and South Korea after the outbreak of Corona Virus. The overall aim of the study is to draw the clinical expertise, field experience to identify the needs and gaps and make recommendation for effective preparedness and response. A huge gap in response obtained due to the fluctuations in knowledge has been evident for a set of questionnaires. As economic activities are zero, the facilities and relief packages are necessary to grant to all sectors of the country to revitalize the economy. In case of the number of cases are increased, it is alarmingly difficult to control. With the decision of country lock-down, it has both positive and negative impact. But this policy cannot sustain for longer period and is only short-term measures.
