The epidemic in India spreads from cities to rural areas, experts: epidemic prevention faces great challenges

Although the number of new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in a single day in India has gradually declined in the past few days, the epidemic situation remains severe. In recent days, the spread of the epidemic to rural areas has aroused many concerns.

Indian Prime Minister Modi has recently stated that the current epidemic in India is spreading rapidly from urban to rural areas. Some experts pointed out that India's rural areas have limited medical resources and lack of testing, all of which will bring great challenges to the epidemic prevention work. And nearly 70% of India’s population is in rural areas. Once the epidemic spreads in rural areas, the already overwhelmed health care system across India will completely collapse.

Meanwhile,  The people should obey the government's lockdown policy and wearing the personal protective equipments correctly.  The disposable Face mask is necessary, and the hand sanitizer and disinfecting alcohol wipes are very useful to kill COVID-19 virus.
