Precautions amid viruses
The
outbreak of the novel corona virus – acute respiratory disease, now called by
the World Health Organization as COVID-19, in Wuhun, China has scared many
countries because of its fast spread of contamination that prompted governments
to order the lockdowns and travel ban, including the Philippines. As of this
writing, there is a recorded death of 1,100 in China because of COVID-19, which
was discovered by a Chinese physician, who raised the alarm but then died of
such contamination.
Now the added scary diseases --- the
onslaught or another outbreak of Avian Flu or Bird’s Flu in one district in
China and this lately the spread of the African Swine Fever in Mindanao, which
first appeared in Northern Luzon. Now, authorities will be monitoring the
migratory birds since the disease can contaminate humans, hence, the advice to
make distance from the species when the outbreak is reported.
