Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 or coronavirus) was first detected in December 2019 by health

authorities in Wuhan City in the People’s Republic of China. Since that time, more than millions of cases
have been confirmed worldwide, and the virus has spread to more than 114 countries. Spread of the
coronavirus is causing a global emergency. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has
created a global health crisis that has had a deep impact on the way we perceive our world and our
everyday lives. Not only the rate of contagion and patterns of transmission threatens our sense of agency,
but the safety measures put in place to contain the spread of the virus also require social distancing by
refraining from doing what is inherently human, which is to find solace in the company of others. 

In addition, public and community health is get badly affected with the lack of control of COVID-19
pandemic. The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, has created such
a pandemic scenario where the infection has reached to millions and correspondingly the death toll. Many
developed and developing countries proved that during the urgency of the situation. The system, staff,
strategy, skills and facilities are weak enough to manage this public health crisis and incapable enough to
control the risk of infection. COVID-19 has diffused worldwide so rapidly.

Finally, several testing methods have been developed to diagnose the disease. The standard diagnostic
method is by detection of the virus' nucleic acid by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain
reaction (rRT-PCR), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), or by reverse transcription loop-
mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) from a nasopharyngeal swab.
Preventive measures include physical or social distancing, quarantining, ventilation of indoor spaces,
covering coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of
face masks or coverings has been recommended in public settings to minimize the risk of transmissions.
Several vaccines have been developed and many countries have initiated mass vaccination campaigns.

In conclusion, the effects of the COVID-19 panic has caused a massive change to our daily lives, changes
that have often happened rapidly and abruptly. Life adjustments often come with a wide range of
experiences and emotions.
