    India is lucky to have tropical climate ie. hot most of the time and this heat protects the population from many deadly diseases.

    Even though I am not a supporter of BJP, I think the health ministry has done a very good job in containing the virus for so long. Looking at the situation in developed countries and given the fact that a lot of Indians are travelling to all these countries, a count below 100 since 3 months of the outbreak and in a population of 1.5 billion and also being right next door to China, the ministry has done a commendable job.

    Govt. of India has taken utmost precaution till date despite the political turmoil and riots in the country. Even brought back Indians from worst affected countries like China and Iran. Plans are underway to bring citizens from Italy also.

    It's easier said then done. The sheer volume of people flying in from abroad makes it impossible. Quaratining healthy people with some one who might have the virus puts them on risk too.
