The rapid rise in Covid-19 infection to a pandemic stage in the face of lack of few choices for treatment, prevention has taken a special purpose in this battle. The 1918 Spanish Flu with no vaccine to protect against the infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions including, isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly. These same measures hold good for Covid-19 pandemic today.
