Background: After the emergence of the first cases of COVID-19 in the Wuhan Province of China most countries were not concerned by the fact there is a new disease emerging. A lot of attention was put into how the disease might have started rather than focusing on controlling the spread of the disease. This negligence led to more cases being reported globally and eventually led to the WHO declaring it as “a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30th January 2020” a month after the first reported case and finally declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 12th 2020.
