CURRENT GLOBAL CORONA & HEALTH STATUS
World has been experiencing an unprecedented shift in the way of life
amid COVID-19. From December 31, 2019, Chinese media reported for the
first time on an outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan. Since then
it has brought about a catastrophic and deathly impact all over the world.
Public health authorities say the number of infections has been accelerating
and the peak still lies ahead. In early September 2020, the world finds itself at
a vague stage: past the shock of the pandemic but without a clear end in
sight. The said chart shows the numbers of confirmed cases, death and
recovery of 25 countries have been recorded as of September 05, 2020.
As the COVID -19 pandemic continues to hamper the economy and up-end
business as usual, many of our client organizations are grappling with the
big questions of how to move forward with their existing set ups, promote
sustainability and to continue with their business. As a responsible law
