A recent meet on Coronavirus in the city, titled 'Combatting Coronavirus' saw a full house in attendance, given of course the timeliness of the topic and growing concerns in India.

There were Chinese officials at the meet held at a SoBo hotel. While Chinese representatives were gung-ho about the nation's battle against the virus and were optimistic about their country's resilience against COVID19, there was acknowledgement that cases outside China were growing and therein lies the real concern. Experts also spoke about the community spread possibility in India, with one saying it is a matter of time. What is important though is the great responsibility thrust not only on health officials but on every individual in times of this crisis.

Besides the obvious measures that we must take like washing our hands and avoiding touching our faces, maintaining hygiene as much as possible, there is a bigger burden on us, as people, to aid in tackling the virus.
