Within a week a high level “Core Committee for novel Coronavirus disease (COVID19)” was formed by the Ministry of Health. First reported case of COVID19 came on 26th February and thus we had around five weeks to prepare. Where deaths immediately after a COVID19 infection may have fallen, the understanding of long-term health effects of even a mild infection is evolving (Long COVID). Most countries have stopped reporting daily COVID19 numbers and deaths and surveillance systems are pretty much gone for all practical purposes. Therefore, we, as a society, need to decrease the risk of COVID19 infections in our houses, schools and workplaces.
