Coronavirus can be controlled: Over 68,000 have recovered so far globally
The
Coronavirus
outbreak has taken the world by a storm, with governments globally
scrambling to control the outbreak, which has so far infected over
125,000 people and killed more than 4,500 across 114 countries. Even
as the virus forces countries to quarantine citizens, lock down
borders and suspend travels, the number of recoveries across the
world so far has been 68,000, according to data collated by the Johns
Hopkins University & Medicine.
The
data show that over 50,000 people have recovered in China’s Hubei
province alone. Hubei has been the most affected by the outbreak.
Iran, also affected badly and facing difficulties owing to several US
sanctions and poor medical facilities, has seen over 2,900 recoveries
so far. The country has also reported over 400 deaths, the most after
China and Italy.
While
over 90 per cent of the cases are confined to four countries –
China, South Korea, Italy and Iran – the first two have lately seen
a significant drop in new Covid-19 cases.
