Owing to advanced communication and technology, the universe has now become a tiny village. Thus, a crisis like Coronavirus, which began in a particular region, is no longer a crisis just in that area but it has become a matter of global concern and seriously affecting the whole global village.  Coronavirus originated from China but now affecting people everywhere.

It has been more than two months since Coronavirus is rapidly spreading across all continents and if the spread doesn't stop, it will cause severe damage to the world economy and human health. Fear is mounting and appears to contradict reality. Almost all countries in the word have now reported the cases of Coronavirus and Government authorities are taking all possible steps to protect their citizens.

People in the World are in the grip of grave fear of the deadly virus and it doesn't mattetr if they are from rich or developing countries. 

World Tourism has come to an unimaginable stop with so many cancellations and postponement of big conferences, events and even the latest James Bond film No Time To Die. Many countries have stopped giving visa to foreign nationalists. For example, Saudi Arabia is not allowing Umrah pilgrimage until indefinite period. One can imagine how this is adversely affecting pilgrims, tourism and transportation of people.

It seems people are in complete panic because so far there is no cure for the deadly virus that critically affects elderly, sick and those with immune disorders.  Prayer and precautions are the best means to fight the deadly disease that has killed more than 3000 people. Stay Safe everyone!
