Abstract

Motivated by the rapid spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in the world. This article aims to provide a swift perspective to readers regarding the coronavirus outbreak in MANA countries. Unfortunately, the most identified cases in MANA states are mainly obtained through people who have returned from endemic areas such as Europe, the United States, and China. Like any other developing country, MANA countries generally have a poor healthcare infrastructure with a fragile economic development that may lead to massive harmful effects. Finally, to control the COVID-19 outbreak in MANA, We need a galvanizing concerted global effort towards international infectious disease in such a setting.
