MANAGING COVID-19 THROUGH PREVENTIVE MEASURES

China tested its first COVID-19 positive in a patient on December 8, 2019. COVID-19 rapidly spread from a single city to the entire country in just 30 days. But only on February 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation announced an official name for the novel corona virus disease as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The utter rapidity of both the geographical expansion and the sudden increase in the numbers of cases surprised and hurriedly stunned health and public health services in China. The source of the disease suggested of a common zoonotic spill over at Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market and another group doubts of a propagated source on seeing virus being to be transmitted only from person to person but its presence could not be seen among animals. As no medicine or vaccine could be made available in the market till date the only means to resist the rapid spread of the disease suggest for maintaining physical distancing and health hygiene. These methods of prevention reflected upon the words of Gandhi's on biomoralising of health and his emphasis on rural way of living. This article will travel back to analyse the relevance of 1940s' idealist model of Gandhi in present COVID-19 crises.
