ABSTRACTCOVID-19 epidemic is declared as the public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organisation in the second week of March 2020. This disease originated from China in December 2019 has already caused havoc around the world, including India. The first case in India was reported on 30th January 2020, with the cases crossing 6000 on the day paper was written. Complete lockdown of the nation for 21 days and immediate isolation of infected cases are the proactive steps taken by the authorities. For a better understanding of the evolution of COVID-19 in the country, Susceptible-Infectious-Quarantined-Recovered (SIQR) model is used in this paper. It is predicted that actual infectious population is ten times the reported positive case (quarantined) in the country. Also, a single case can infect 1.55 more individuals of the population. Epidemic doubling time is estimated to be around 4.1 days. All indicators are compared with Brazil and Italy as well. SIQR model has also predicted that India will see the peak with 22,000 active cases during the last week of April followed by reduction in active cases. It may take complete July for India to get over with COVID-19.

Health Regulations

The world is increasingly vulnerable to infectious diseases. Although the fundamental reform of the International Health Regulations (IHR) in 2005 was heralded as the beginning of a new era of international health law, the Ebola outbreak 2014 shattered all hopes that the world would now be adequately equipped for epidemic outbreaks of transmissible diseases. The Ebola crisis is perceived as an epic failure on the part of the World Health Organization (WHO). The many dead are a sad testimony to the world's inability to adequately respond to the threat posed by contagions. In reaction to this defeat, policymakers now focus on hands-on initiatives to foster global health instead of reformulating international health law. So far, extensive investments and innovations within the WHO, the United Nations system, and in the private sector have multiplied rapidly. The mushrooming of various health initiatives, however, increases the complexity and reduces the consistency of the current global health landscape. The leadership role of the WHO needs to be restored to provide a coherent response for the next global scale public health emergency. To this end, a fundamental reform of the presently widely neglected international regulatory framework in the field of public law, the IHR, is of vital importance.

The Covid-19 outbreak has now become a very serious problem in all countries of the world. The Indonesian government has also determined the state of public health emergencies related to the covid-19 pandemic by issuing 3 regulations. The issuance of this regulation as a form of public health protection from all diseases and / or from public health risk factors that have the potential to cause a public health emergency and also to stabilize the country's economy amid the covid-19 pandemic. This study discusses the problems that exist between the application of the regional quarantine system and the PSBB in coping with covid-19. The purpose of this research is to understand what the Regional Quarantine System and PSBB System were during the Covid-19 Pandemic and what problems occurred with their implementation so that the public can find out why the government implemented this system to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus. In the discussion, it was found that there were several obstacles that occurred with the implementation of the regional quarantine system and PSBB.

It ranges in severity causing Pneumonia – all caused by the virus known as Corona virus. The pandemic did indeed cause a havoc as it was declared as a Public Health Emergency. It not only had an impact on lives of people but had a worldwide impact on varied sections of society, not limited only to healthcare but also the economy, psychology, travel and tourism, to just name a few. There was even a certain stigma associated with contracting the virus and having to stay in complete Home Isolation from the World. It not only had pronounced effects on the physical well-being of an individual, but also on one’s mental make-up.  It has been a constant learning curve across different walks of life, that placed Hand Hygiene, Mask Wearing and Social Distancing at the epicentre of the prevention of such a Communicable Disease. This article is a reflection of my experience, battling with Corona Virus. – a deadly Pandemic of the 21st Century.

Different Parts

As governments in different parts of the world seek solutions to the public health emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on corporate enterprises, different steering committees are constituted to implement measures aimed at containing the spread of the disease. Information that has the potential to impact materially on companies’ securities when made public is shared among committee members in the course of their deliberations. That realization informs the purpose of this paper which is to explore through doctrinal research method the law on insider trading in South Africa in such a manner as would reaffirm the position of the law on insider, inside information, and the prohibited conducts. The findings indicate a propensity by those entrusted with business information to leverage such information for personal benefits which creates a problem of uncertainties on the integrity of the securities market. The paper concludes by advocating the application of the law in such a manner as would ensure that the conduct of persons entrusted with inside information is guided by the legal threshold on insider trading.
