Lessons from COVID-19

There are lessons to learn from countries such as China, Singapore, South Korea and Germany, which have managed to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

One of the best practices learnt from those countries is that they did aggressive screening and testing programmes right from the beginning. These countries have not stopped screening and testing as they have not wanted to take chances. Unlike countries that were initially COVID-19 denialists by labelling the spread of the pandemic as hoax, screening and testing have proved to be the answer to arrest this virus and it is working in their favour.
