Is there anyone infected with the coronavirus in Goa?
India borders on China, and the country also has unfavorable sanitary and epidemiological conditions. Therefore, the fact that there are people infected with the coronavirus in this country does not surprise anyone. In the Indian state of Goa, the beach season is currently in full swing. Epidemiologists are making great efforts in the fight against coronavirus. Despite this, it is actively spreading.
The first case of infection in India was reported on 01/30/2020. According to Indian media reports, a female student who studied in Wuhan was diagnosed with coronavirus. The girl is in the capital of Thrissur district in an isolation ward under medical supervision.
On February 4, the speaker of the Ministry of Health reported two more cases of infection. Previously, 20 people were tested for coronavirus, two of which gave a positive result. Infected patients were placed in isolation.
Is it possible to go on vacation to Goa?
Indian doctors and epidemiologists are developing concerns about the penetration of the coronavirus into the country, as it has ideal conditions for its spread. India has high levels of humidity and temperature. This environment promotes the rapid reproduction and spread of bacteria. Indians live in large communities, so one carrier can infect hundreds of people.
In the country, all people take off their shoes in malls and shops, water quality in many regions is poor, and dumps can be organized in a crowded place. The citizens themselves are not very clean, so they rarely wash their hands.
The government is taking measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has issued a decree requiring all passengers to have their body temperature taken at airports. People who have been in the People's Republic of China should seek medical attention if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory illness. The authorities of the country at the beginning of the year warned their citizens that if they go to China after the 15th, they will be forcibly placed in quarantine upon their return. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has suspended Chinese e-visas.
In Goa, the authorities have created a specific isolation room for patients with coronavirus. No cases of infection have been reported in this region. A group of doctors have been trained in the region who will monitor patients when they become infected with the coronavirus. Going to rest in Goa in the conditions of the spread of the disease is not recommended.
IMPORTANT! Goan authorities are asking residents and tourists not to panic. Doctors give their recommendations for the prevention of the disease.
On March 12, almost all categories of visas were suspended in India. In accordance with the decree, from March 15, entry into the country for foreign tourists is prohibited. Holders of work visas, diplomats, officials, UN representatives can freely enter the territory of India. The land border with Myanmar is also closed. Surveillance measures on the borders of the east have been strengthened.
The government recommends avoiding the organization of events with a large number of people, therefore, obviously, sports matches will be played in empty stadiums. India is the second most populous country in the world. There are 420 people per square kilometer. The Indian authorities are worried that when the coronavirus spreads, certain groups of people should be isolated. The Minister of Health believes that the situation with the spread of the epidemic provides an opportunity to improve the quality of medical care.
How to cancel a holiday trip?
Most citizens of the world have already purchased a ticket to Goa, but due to the spread of the coronavirus, they cannot get to the resort. In this case, you can contact the travel agency and reschedule the date of the trip. If a person wants to refuse it, it is recommended to write an application to the travel agency. The representative of the company must put his signature, stamp and date on it. Rostourism guarantees 100% reimbursement of the cost of the tour.
India has over 100 cases of coronavirus infection. The country's authorities are concerned about this fact, as climatic conditions accompany its spread. Going on vacation to Goa or other regions of India is not only not recommended. All borders are closed.
