 COVID-19 (CORONA VIRUS)
• Introduction:-The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which
originated in the city of Wuhan, China, has quickly spread to various
countries, with many cases having been reported worldwide. As of
May 8th, 2020, in India, 56,342 positive cases have been reported. India,
with a population of more than 1.34 billion—the second largest
population in the world—will have difficulty in controlling the
transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
among its population. Multiple strategies would be highly necessary
to handle the current outbreak; these include computational
modeling, statistical tools, and quantitative analyses to control the
spread as well as the rapid development of a new treatment. The
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India has raised awareness
about the recent outbreak and has taken necessary actions to control
the spread of COVID-19. The central and state governments are
taking several measures and formulating several wartime protocols to
achieve this goal. Moreover, the Indian government implemented a 55-
days lockdown throughout the country that started on March 25th,
2020, to reduce the transmission of the virus.
 Current Scenario in India
• Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2), which causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), was first
identified in December 2019 in Wuhan city, China, and later
spread to many provinces in China. As of May 8 th, 2020, the
World Health Organization (WHO) had documented
3,759,967 positive COVID-19 cases, and the death toll
attributed to COVID-19 had reached 259,474 worldwide (1). So
far, more than 212 countries and territories have confirmed
cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. On January 30th, 2020, the
WHO declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern (2). The first SARS-CoV-2 positive case
in India was reported in the state of Kerala on January 30 th,
2020. Subsequently, the number of cases drastically rose.
 Spread of Covid 19
• The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has spread
worldwide via international travel. This study traced its
diffusion from the global to national level and identified a
few superspreaders that played a central role in the
transmission of this disease in India.We used the travel
history of infected patients from 30 January to 6 April 6
2020 as the primary data source. A total of 1386 cases
were assessed, of which 373 were international and 1013
were national contacts
 Symptoms of Covid 19
Most common symptoms:
fever
dry cough
tiredness
Less common symptoms:
aches and pains
sore throat
diarrhoea
conjunctivitis
headache
loss of taste or smell
a rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toe
 Prevention of Covid 19
• To prevent the spread of COVID-19:
• Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an
alcohol-based hand rub.
• Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing
or sneezing.
• Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible.
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
• Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a
tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Stay home if you feel unwell.
• If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing,
seek medical attention.

 Impact of COVID 19
• The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and
presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world
of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is
devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty,
while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690
million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.
•
• Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3
billion global workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy
workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and
access to quality health care and have lost access to productive assets. Without the
means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves
and their families. For most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and
less nutritious food.
 CONCLUSION
• COVID-19 got induced into Indian states mainly due to International travels
with the very first patient travelling from Wuhan, China. Subsequently, the
contacts of positive cases were located, and a significant spread was
identified in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Kerala and
Karnataka. The COVID-19’s spread in phase one was traced using the
travelling history of the patients, and it was found that most of the
transmissions were local.
