Nowadays the latest around the globe is about corona virus COVID-19. Every nation is dealing or tackling with corona virus COVID-19 disease with their own approaches. Nation like China has successfully defeated corona virus and now is sending its team of doctors and distributing safety kits, surgical masks and other necessary equipment to deal with it. Some nations like US, Italy and Pakistan etc. are struggling with it and some are displaying and implementing very good strategies. Ice land is one of them. One of the latest techniques Iceland has performed excellent job of disclosing a wide-ranging COVID-19 trial master plan over its residents. However, it’s just a small country, their proposition is giving captivating perception into the COVID-19 and the current widespread.
Iceland’s health officials, along with its exclusive bio-pharmaceutic firm Decode Genetics, have managed 12,615 tests, considering for nearly 3.5 percent of total population.
Iceland is offering free screening also including those who don’t have any such symptoms. This has identified 802 confirmed cases of corona virus out of which 253 were obtained by foreign travelers.
Testing results can be viewed on health ministry COVID-19 live data page. Testing results are just groundwork results so that we can’t just consider them as divine. Every nation has its own uniqueness in its social and cultural framework and approaches and it’s not necessary that outburst of each country would be similar to those of Iceland. The data suggested around that ½ of the people don’t have any such of symptoms (and display mild cold-like symptoms) and minimum percentage of the residents have diminished the virus. Analysts can now understand the phenomena or the mechanism of modification of the corona virus, they discovered 40 mutations of the virus, the number of alterations is a little bit larger than other approximations
The tiny population of Iceland enables it to implement the examining techniques very easily. World Health Organization is advising that all nations must initiate a large scale testing even if someone doesn’t feels or have such symptoms of corona virus. The epidemic can only be effectively combat if we have necessary all the required data. Only a non-blindfolded can extinguish the fire easily. Director General of World Health Organization (WHO) has forced for tests continuously.
There is much to learn from the performance of Iceland’s government measures on this epidemic issue. In my opinion, Iceland can be a beacon of light for all nations struggling with the disease.
