As the world takes a step towards curbing the spread, the news comes from the UN headquarters. With so many people getting affected with such a high speed, it becomes important that the idea of “quarantine” is made to be understood by the many people who are still unaware of it.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called Monday for an immediate ceasefire in conflicts around the world to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. The UN chief said: “It is time to put armed conflict on lock-down and focus together on the true fight of our lives.” Guterres said the world faces “a common enemy — COVID-19” which doesn’t care “about nationality or ethnicity, faction or faith.”

The ceasefire would allow humanitarians to reach populations that are most vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19, which first emerged in Wuhan, China, last December, and has now been reported in more than 180 countries.

So far, there are nearly 300,000 cases worldwide, and more than 12,700 deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

As the UN chief pointed out, COVID-19 does not care about nationality or ethnicity, or other differences between people, and “attacks all, relentlessly”, including during wartime.

It is the most vulnerable – women and children, people with disabilities, the marginalized, displaced and refugees – who pay the highest price during the conflict and who are most at risk of suffering “devastating losses” from the disease. This must be understood by everyone, affected or not affected.

Furthermore, health systems in war-ravaged countries have often reached the point of total collapse, while the few health workers who remain are also seen as targets.

The UN chief called on warring parties to pull back from hostilities, put aside mistrust and animosity, and “silence the guns; stop the artillery; end the airstrikes”.

The statement has a greater purpose to serve. Humanity at the whole is suffering from something, none knew would have taken the world like this. In this case, taking prevention is not optional it is necessary.

UN Chief also said, ” End the sickness of war and fight the disease that is ravaging our world”, he appealed. “It starts by stopping the fighting everywhere. Now. That is what our human family needs, now more than ever
