Covid-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the new coronavirus infection, COVID-19 was
initiated from the Hunan seafood market in Wuhan city of China in ,
December 2019 and within a couple of months it has turned out to
be a global health emergency. Live animals like bat, frog, snake, bird,
marmot and rabbit are frequently sold at the Hunan seafood market
(Wang et al., 2020b). Genomic analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 is
phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-like
(SARS-like) bat viruses,bats could therefore be the possible primary source.
Although the intermediate source of origin and transfer to humans is not
clearly known, the rapid human to human spreading capability of this virus
has been established. As per the latest update of WHO on 18 April 2020, the
outbreak of COVID-19 had spread in more than 200 countries. Approximately
146,198 people had died after contracting the respiratory virus out of nearly
2,164,111 confirmed cases, whereas more than 402,989 people have recovered
from the disease. These numbers are changing rapidly. Daily infection of
COVID-19 as been steadily raising.

More than 200 countries/regions have reported confirmed COVID-19
cases, including China, Italy, Iran, S. Korea, India, Switzerland,
USA, Sweden, Singapore, France, Australia, Malaysia, Spain, United Arab
Emirates, UK, Nepal, Finland, Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Russia, Thailand,
Cambodia, and Germany. After hitting China in January 2020, COVID-19
severely out broke in countries like South Korea, Iran, and Italy in
late February and early March, 2020. As far as the number of COVID
infected patients is concerned, USA is at the top of the list followed
by Spain (Fig. 1). In USA, more than 30,000 people died of this disease.
