In December 2019, China began noticing a disturbing trend of pneumonia like cases that were fast multiplying in the city of Wuhan, the sprawling capital of central China’s Hubei province. They are commonly thought to have originated from a wet market in city centre called Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. This outbreak turned into a juggernaut rampaging through all corners of the world, turning into a pandemic never seen before in living memory.

This publication has been brought out to provide collated information of practical and immediate use of pharma companies to keep their operations running.
