The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is now a global pandemic and has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). As the spread of COVID-19 continues, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages communities to reduce close contact between individuals and to cancel any unnecessary mass gathering events. Countries around the globe are also implementing measures such as national lockdowns, class cancellations, restaurant closures, public transit suspensions, all nonessential businesses, and mandatory 14-day quarantines for those who traveled in highly affected countries. The official declaration of the pandemic by WHO has called on all countries to continue efforts that have been effective in limiting the number of cases and containment efforts aimed at inhibiting viral transmission.
