The Coronavirus could be cured but we have to take precautions to avoid damage. There is no need to hate anybody, who suffers from the virus. We have to see them with love and affection. If we found anybody with the virus symptoms, just make a call to 104. The patients only expect love and affection only. The patients can stay at home and take the treatment for 14 days. In the case of serious cases, we will take them to the hospital and provide a diagnosis.
