The COVID-19 pandemic is most likely transmitted to the human population in December 2019. The movement of people from Wuhan resulted in massive spread nationally and internationally where people travelled during the holidays. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11th March 2020 by the time it has already spread to about 114 countries with 118,000 cases and it killed 4291 people around the globe. According to WHO “If countries detect, test, treat, isolate, trace, and mobilize their people in the response, those with a handful of cases can prevent those cases becoming clusters, and those clusters becoming community transmission”.
