The novel coronavirus has caused the deaths of over 16,000 people worldwide with close to four lakh people infected with COVID-19 as of March 24. The infection has affected the young and old alike, and with limited resources in many countries, healthcare professionals who are on the frontline of the battle against COVID-19 are also falling prey to the infection.
