COVID-19 is a pandemic.

Billions of people are being affected and millions of

people are being infected. As of September 20, the global death toll

surpassed 957,000 amid more than 30.8 million cases. Over 21 million people

have recovered from the disease worldwide, according to the data collected

by the Johns Hopkins University in the United States.The new coronavirus,

the seventh known to affect humans, has been named COVID-19. Common

signs of infection include fever, coughing and breathing difficulties. In

severe cases, it can cause pneumonia, multiple organ failure and death. China

alerted the WHO to cases of unusual pneumonia in Wuhan on December

31.COVID-19 is thought to have originated in a seafood market where

wildlife was sold illegally. The WHO recommends basic hygiene such as

regularly washing hands with soap and water, and covering your mouth with

your elbow when sneezing or coughing.Maintain “physical distancing” –

keeping at least 1 metre (three feet) between yourself and others –

particularly if they are coughing and sneezing, and avoid touching your face,

eyes and mouth with unwashed hands. Covid-19 has also caused some very

good things to happen.It has good side too.Upon the recent worldwide

quarantines and lockdowns, we have collectively significantly cut down on

emissions.There is not yet any vaccine, drug, or treatment invented for

Coronavirus or COVID-19. That is why this is the highest tension point for

all. So if anyone gets infected by this virus, he or she should receive care to

relieve symptoms and if it results in serious illness then he or she should be

hospitalized. Scientists are trying to come up with possible vaccines and

some specific drug treatments that are now under investigation.
