Coronavirus :From denial to transmission

It is no doubt that coronavirus, known as COVID-19, has become the most dangerous disease to face the globe. Nowadays the world’s population finds itself in lockdown, under quarantine, and streets, markets, airports, and tourist sites have emptied due to this pandemic.
In Sudan, as elsewhere in Africa, some citizens have not dealt seriously with the threat, and still others have even denied its existence. Since the Federal Ministry of Health announced the first confirmed case on March 13, some began to underestimate the numbers affected or make unhelpful comparisons to other diseases. In just one month the total number of confirmed cases has risen to 29, and on Monday a record ten cases were reported in just one day, the highest since the pandemic’s outbreak in Sudan.
The greater the delay, the more cost you will pay. The Minister of Health Akram Ali El-Tom has exerted tireless efforts to prepare the ground, but the magnitude of the pandemic risks overtaking all efforts.
According to The Guardian, Coronaviruses have been causing problems for humanity for a long time. Several versions are known to trigger common colds and more recently two types have set off outbreaks of deadly illnesses: severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers).
Now Sudan have reached 29 cases, with one in Khartoum State, it is a sign that we have moved from receiving the virus from abroad, to internal community transmission. This means the worst is likely still ahead.
