The government must also take bold steps to stop anyone, especially from badly affected country like China, to come to our country temporarily.
Beside the government, every individual must make their own efforts to protect themselves from the virus. Everybody must observe hygiene at all times. It is important for everybody to know that there is currently no vaccine this new coronavirus.
