World Health Organization
Ever since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a public health emergency, the Government of India and the Government of Gujarat have collectively undertaken and implemented several pandemic responses that include measures on preparedness, prevention, mitigation, control and recovery. Gujarat, in particular, has developed its own operational response plan and implemented several strategic measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 and secure the welfare of its people.
