Introduction
The Novel Coronavirus 2019 has taken the world by a storm and brought life to a standstill. Caused by the
SARS-CoV-2 virus, the disease presents as mildly symptomatic in most afflicted individuals, with
possibilities of complications in those with co-morbidities. The devastation does not end there. The socioeconomic landscape of the world has suffered irrevocable damages, particularly, in developing nations
such as ours. A dearth of essential resources and an ineffective workforce, make it unlikely for India to be
rescued from the impending doom in time.
