Measures currently being taken against COVID-19 are the only means of containing and suppressing the virus. Until a vaccine is made and tested, progress will remain slow. As we’ve seen over the past month, the concerns around this novel coronavirus will only grow as markets around the world are getting crushed.
China first faced the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, and now it has spread across the world. Global infections of roughly 394,000 people have been reported. There are currently 273,000 active cases of the coronavirus and over 120,000 closed cases. Of those with outcomes, nearly 103,000 of those infected have recovered, while about 17,000 deaths have been reported.
