Tue, Mar 17 2020Right move by UAE. All countries need to immediately take similar steps. More Corona testing labs need to be set up across our country by the Government and tests need to be free of charge for the poor people. Health department staff need to visit all areas and find out if anyone have signs of the infection. If visits are done when there is malaria then why not now. Let's hope and pray for that the spreading of this virus is controlled effectively.
