Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, governments across the world have halted flights, locked down towns and cities and urged citizens to stay at home, as they develop vaccines and roll out policies on preventive measures to curtail the spread of the virus in their countries.
Preventive measures include regular washing of hands, social distancing and keeping hands away from the nose, mouth and eyes.
