Pandemic Checklist
Pandemic is a global health epidemic of a disease spreading across the globe. There are two steps before you reach the declaration of a pandemic.
Starting with an “outbreak” which confirmed cases are contained in a small geographic region.
If it spreads beyond the original small area of the outbreak then it becomes an epidemic.
According to WHO Pandemics are epidemics that cross international boundaries so affect large numbers of people throughout the world.
The word itself is used carefully so not amplifying unnecessary fear and panic.
Hand washing is the most important measure for reducing transmission of many germs.
Limiting the spread of viruses and germs is key to hold the spread.
