COVID19 - SECOND COMING
This is a significant communication to the Covid19 world. After three months from the last community spread, new cases of coronavirus appeared in New Zealand from an unknown source. The island nation seen as a global exemplar in the battle against coronavirus. All four cases reported are from the same family. The first case identified in the cluster was a person with no overseas travel history. Three of the family are tested positive and three negative. Consequently the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a heightened state of alert for the country with over five million population.
All close contacts of the four cases will remain in self isolation for 14 days, and casual contacts ofthe infected will self isolate unti they have test result. Testing for the virus is free in New Zealand.
This case is a wake up call against any complacency that may have set in.
This should be taken as warning by countries where the virus case is tapering down. The medical personnel may study more about the nature of spread of coronavirus.
