Experts and doctors worldwide are critically stressing the only way in which this battle can be fought - social distancing and self-quarantine. This is deliberately just increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. On the other hand, I would prefer the term physical distancing as humans, by nature, are social beings. So it would not be practical to be "socially distant", hence the term "physical" would be more appropriate. According to me and many, there are just three things that need to be done by everyone to derogate COVID - 19, the 20-second handwash, physical distancing and self-quarantine. People misconstrue these rules thinking it only applies for those who are actually affected by coronavirus. Furthermore, some don't at all value these instructions, with extreme cases being an escape from the isolation ward, wasting all of the efforts from the countries and doctors.
As far as the world leaders and major member countries are concerned, the war with this novel virus is far less than over. WHO is taking essential measures by advising member states which have brought many countries into lockdown. Moreover, China has to an extent successfully recovered from its once irreversible condition. Some countries such as Italy which is in a complete lockdown suggest that nature is "doing a hard reset". This actually proves to be somewhat true as the nitrogen levels in the country have drastically lowered and the water bodies are becoming clearer, inviting swans to swim too.
All in all, when it comes to each one of us all we can do is follow all the preventive measures - however, the situation in our own country - understand the severity of the situation at hand and advise friends and family to do the same. When the virus is hijacking the very rhythm of our daily lives, let us all be united and fight this World War 3 with the invisible enemy - COVID-19.
