The coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan in December 2019 has now spread to over 50 countries across 6 continents with more than 80,000 reported cases and the death toll having crossed 2800. To contain the spread of this infection, more than 20 Chinese cities have been placed under lockdown and other countries have issued travel advisories. Recognizing the severity of the infection, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this outbreak a global health emergency. With cases of coronavirus outbreak being confirmed in India, are we prepared to tackle it effectively? This workshop will examine the source of the infection, evaluate its relationship with other pre-existing coronaviruses, assess its potential to become a pandemic, and discuss India’s capacity to prepare and respond to such infections.
Discussants:
Shahid Jameel, chief executive officer of the Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance
Gautam Menon, professor of physics and biology at Ashoka University
Chitra Pattabiraman, fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience
