nCoV outbreak declared a State calamity in Kerala

Part of: GS Prelims and GS Mains II – Secularism

In news:

A high-level group of Ministers has been constituted on the directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to review the management of the outbreak.

From Prelims Point of View:

Novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV :

coronavirus is a large family of viruses that are often the source of respiratory infections, including the common cold.
According to the World Health Organization, during previous outbreaks due to other coronaviruses, human-to-human transmission occurred through droplets or objects making contact, suggesting that the transmission mode of the 2019-nCoV can be identical.
Symptoms may include fever, cough and shortness of breath.
Antibiotics do not work against such viral pneumonia and there are no vaccines against them.

Virus is contagious even during incubation, that is even before a patient exhibits any symptoms. This characteristic amplifies transmissibility.
