With the Governments across the world jostling to contain the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, the World Health Organisation (WHO) on 28 February announced its global risk assessment of the disease to the highest level, reports The Hindu.
The development comes after the epidemic spread to sub-Saharan Africa and had spooked the financial markets worldwide. The continued surge in the number of cases in new nations pushed the WHO to escalate the risk assessment. The virus has now spread to all continents except Antarctica.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that China reported 44 deaths and 327 new cases on 28 February, which is the lowest tally in over a month. The development offers some hope towards the containment of the disease.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
