While USA
@realDonaldTrump have been at crossroads with
@DrTedros on China and
#Coronavirus here’s what
@PMOIndia has done:

India has been silent on the issue,with the US confronting
#WHO
India is clear & listening to instructions given by the
@ICMRDELHI rather than
#WHO
#WHO @DrTedros appealed to the world countries on January 30 not to cancel air travel with China

However, as per the
@ICMRDELHI advice, India has canceled all non-essential aircraft and shipping with China on January 25 itself. No passenger flights to China until July

Per this genome

data mapping of
#coronavirus origination, India’s came from China and likely before the Jan 25 shutdown

Similarly, while the
#WHO was emphasizing testing, India declared Lock-Down with emphasis on social distances and isolation for others who are asymptomatic
#WHO has advised not to use masks. But India, knowing the importance of using masks, advised its citizens to use masks

The impact of
#COVID19 has been observed in countries such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore that advised their citizens to wear the mask at the time the
#coronavirus began to spread

India's reliance on the
@ICMRDELHI has been very beneficial rather than
#WHO
