ABSTRACT:
The coronavirus pandemic caused by novel SARS-COV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) began in WUHAN city, CHINA In December 2019 and has spread worldwide.The first case in india was reported on 30th January 2020 in kerala. SARS-COV2 is a single starded RNA enveloped virus, target cells through the viral structural spike (S) protein that binds to the angiotensin-coverting enzyme 2(ACE2) receptor.Therapies including remedisvir,azithromycin,plasma therapy, stem inhalation ,gargles, and 7 pointer healthy lifestyle. Till date 5.51 million people have recovered worldwide and 24.3million have recovered in India. This battle shall end soon with emerging vaccines coming up. Without vaccines also the treatment results are promising against this pandemic. Also seen people with good immunity are not at all getting exposed to the virus on exposure, due to healthy living.
