Abstract:
During the novel coronavirus pandemic, it’s more important
than ever to incorporate positive lifestyle habits that can help
you stay healthy and boost your immune system, the body’s
complex system that fights infection and disease. A strong body
immunity acts as a shield against some deadly viruses around
the world that are found everywhere in day-to-day life whereas
a weak immune system is somewhat like a magnet to viruses
and illnesses. So it has become a necessity to boost your
immunity during COVID-19 pandemic to be safe and healthy.
You need to take action to protect the body with the right
habits, diet, and exercise to battle the infection. Currently
Covid-19 pandemic is a leading challenge across the globe. It is
mandatory to attain and maintain good nutritional status to
fight against virus. Nutritional status of individual is affected
by several factors such as age, sex, health status, life style and
medications. Nutritional status of individuals has been used as
resilience towards destabilization during this COVID-19
pandemic. Optimal nutrition and dietary nutrient intake
impact the immune system, therefore the only sustainable way
to survive in current context is to strengthen the immune
system. There is no evidence found that supplement can cure
the immune system except Vit C, which is one of the best way
to improve immune system. A proper diet can ensure that the
body is in proper state to defeat the virus. However along with
the dietary management guidelines the food safety
management and good food practices is compulsory. This
article explores the importance of nutrition to boost immunity
and gives some professional and authentic dietary guidelines.

Abstract
Novel strain of coronavirus out broken in the end of year 2019
became a lethal threat to human kind recently , of which two
subsequent waves caused a heavy toll on human life and
proved itself as one of the most damaging pandemic in human
life concern. Causative agent of this this respiratory disease
belongs to the coronoviridae family and is a kind of RNA virus
with specific surface projections which gives it a particular
shape. Its pathogenecity is too high and regularly modifying
surface antigens makes it lethal and very difficult to develop
vaccine but after a dedicated effort vaccines are developed via
different methods.
Introduction
Coronaviruses should be considered as a category which
consist a group of associated RNA viruses. As for its
proliferation it uses soft tissues lying on the respiratory tract in
warm blooded animals especially so it severely causes the
various kinds of such infections in there. These infections and
their symptoms development lies on several factors including
immunity etc so the range of these respiratory infections varies
from mild to fatal. Initial symptoms mimics the common cold
or flu like which sometimes confuses it with infection of
influenza, rhinoviruses etc. While respiratory infections due to
the SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 could be lethal sometimes.

Etymology
The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona,
meaning "crown" or "wreath," which is itself borrowed from the
Greek term "uronavirus" or "garland" or "wreath." [1] The name
corona was given by June Almeida and David Tyrrell, these
were the persons to first identify and study this virus in human
being. [36] In 1968 a paper was published in journal nature by
some virology scholars, in which the term was used very first in
literature as a new family of viruses. [5]

History
In late 1920s a severe respiratory infection was reported in the
poultry of North America which could be considered the most
recent event of corona outbreak before 2019. [12] [13] later on
in 1933, Leland David Bushnell and Carl Alfred Brandly
isolated the virus and gave it the term IBV. [7] [11] in 1940s
two more variants were discovered that causes brain disease
(murine encephalitis) and hepatitis in mice. [25]
Structure
Coronaviruses are large, nearly spherical particles with specific
surface projections. [16] Their size is highly variable with

Nucleoprotein
Within the envelope is a nucleo-capsid composed of several
copies of the nucleo-capsid protein (N) phosphoprotein of 43-50
kd rich in basic amino acids attached to the positive-sense
single-stranded RNA genome in a continuous bead-on-string
conformation of genome size 26.4 to 31.7 kb with 5′ methylated
cap and 3′ poly-adenylated tail. [15]
The main open reading frames 1a and 1b, which cover the first
two thirds of the genome, encode the polyprotein replicate

Life Cycle
Entry and attachment
When the viral spike protein binds the host cell protease to its
complementary host cell receptor and activates the receptor-
attached spike protein. Depending on the available host cell
protease, cleavage and activation allows the virus to reach the
host cell by endocytosis or direct fusion of the viral envelope
with the host membrane. [32]
Genome translation
Viral particle is uncoated after entering the host cell, and the
genome reaches the host cell cytoplasm. Since it has a 5′
methylated cap and a 3′polyadenylated tail, it mimics like an
RNA messenger and converts into host cell machines.
Translation of overlapping ORF1a and ORF1b results in two
major overlapping polyproteins, pp1a and pp1ab. Polyproteins
have their own proteases, PLpro (nsp3) and 3CLpro (nsp5),
which bind polyproteins to various unique sites. Cleavage of
polyprotein pp1ab yields 16 non-structural proteins (nsp1 to
nsp16). Product proteins include various replication proteins
such as RNA-dependent polymerase RNA (nsp12), RNA helicase
(nsp13) and exoribonuclease (nsp14). [15]
Replication
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase specifically mediates the
synthesis of negative-sense genomic RNA from positive-sense
genomic RNA. This is accompanied by a replication of the
positive-sense genomic RNA of the negative-sense genomic
RNA. [15]
Recombination
The replicase-transcriptase complex is known to be a
recombinant agent, although the precise mechanism of

Transmission
Infected carriers are in a position to unleash viruses into the
atmosphere. The association of the coronavirus spike protein
with its complementary cell receptor is central to the
determination of the tissue tropism, infectivity, and species
range of the released virus. [9]

Classification
Coronaviruses comprise the Orthocoronavirinae sub-family,
and is one of two sub-family members of the Coronaviridae
family, the Nidovirales family, and the Riboviriafamily. [14]
They are classified into four genera, Alphacoronavirus,
Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus and Deltacoronavirus.
Furthermore, alphacoronavirusesand betacoronaviruses infect
mammals while gammacoronaviruses and deltacoronaviruses
mainly infect birds. [37] Follow-up.
Genesis
The just previous ancestor of the nowadays corona virus is
believed to inhabited since 8000 BCE and in other reports the
suggestions regarding the existence of this virus is long way
back like more than fifty million year ago. It is supposed to
evolve in parallel with the evolution of Chiroptera and birds.
[37] As a most convincing common ancestors of corona virus
i.e. alpha, beta gamma, deltas are supposed to be existed in
between 2400 BCE to 3300 BCE. Chiroptera and avians are
reported consistently as a feasible carrier of the corona virus
genes. These are also considered the basic cause of worldwide
distribution of this gene pool due to their high divertible
existence in nature. [38]

Abstract
The pandemic situation started from March of 2020 and with it
the lockdown was also started. Due to this situation the Food
Industry faces many problems as well as the food supply chain
also. Economically vulnerable situations are created. But this
situation has some positives. So, the pandemic situation plays
two types of roles upon food supply chains.
COVID-19 affects all people from rich to poor. So, in this view,
COVID-19 breaks all status barriers. Alternatively, the addicted
people did not get a chance to buy alcoholic which is also a
good sign. It is mentioned earlier that due to the pandemic
many people become jobless, so a large number of business
mentalities or chances of alternative livelihoods up to the

Abstract
The coronavirus, also known as Covid-19, has infected more
than 5.8 million people with over 351,000 deaths around the
world. India is one of the faster-infected countries where
tentatively 89,000 active cases, 86,000 discharged or cured
and 5150 deaths reported as per the Indian Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare by the end of May 2020. People of India are
already beyond their all extreme capacities, and patience due
to phase-wise lockdown imposed more than two months, i.e.
since 24 March 2020. They are now waiting to rejoin in their
work and resume their suspended services from 8 June (unlock
phase-1). COVID-19 infections and death affected not only
people's physical and mental health but also the entire
economy as well as per capita income due to closures of almost
all industries. In this review article, we are concern about
essential nutrition through the daily average staple meals
based on a much lower budget than usual due to financial
troubles in the middle-class families and other classes as well.
The only option to be healthy is by adding immunity-
boosting foods which are not only cheap and best but
readily available in our daily diet. In this COVID-19 phases,
Indian people can exclusively rely on traditional foods as
immunity elevator such as spices, citrus fruits, some
vegetables, herbal tea, honey etc. The article, therefore,
provides an overview of the home-based simple practice of diet
based on online searches of relevant literature available in
NCBI, Embase, other useful databases including Google
scholar. The study overall reviews the values of Ayurveda,
nutrition, yoga and their health benefits by protecting and
boosting immunity.

Introduction
The world is severely affected by the novel coronavirus, i.e.,
COVID-19 pandemic, and that has become a serious concern
worldwide for the survival of human beings. In last year
December, several patients were reported with pneumonia of
an unknown aetiology and admitted to hospitals in Wuhan,
Hubei, China. India’s complete lockdown has caused
unnecessary disruptions in the food supply chain, with the
scarcity of labour making it even worse. A sharp decline in
demand is imminent with the financial sector being in a freeze
and incomes having shrunk for everyone, except for the small
salaried class. Consumer sentiment and business outlook on
recovery are bleak. While ensuring the free movement of
essential goods and availability and safety of labour can
mitigate the immediate disruptions in the supply chain,
unclogging the financial sector and restoring optimism in the
market will take time and heroic efforts from the government.
On 23 March 2020, the Government of India declared a
complete lockdown for three weeks in response to the COVID-
19 outbreak. All enterprises, except essential ones, have been
closed and 1.4 billion people are confined to their homes for 21
days. Even the trains are not running. This is an
unprecedented shock to the economy. As the second-most
populous country in the world, India’s ability to cope with the
COVID-19 outbreak is likely to have a significant impact on the
future of this global pandemic. At the time of writing, the
Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had confirmed a
total of 586,956 cases and 17,417 deaths, although it is
anticipated that the true number of infections is far higher due
to low levels of testing. The government took early action,
imposing an initial 3-week lockdown on March 25, which was
further extended until late May. There is hope that these
measures will help limit the health crisis, however, the sudden
and complete shutdown of almost all economic activity is likely
to give rise to financial crisis and an increased poverty rate,
impacting the livelihoods of citizens. In a country where GDP
growth was already slowing prior to the outbreak, where 81 per
cent of employed persons work in the informal sector
(International Labour Office, 2018) and where livelihoods are

Need of Nutrition
Foods, cloths, and shelter are the basic needs of any human
being anywhere in the world to live or even survive under
any situation. During this crisis, poor people are mainly
facing challenges to get minimum foods to meet their hunger,
whether staying at their cottage or returning home from the
workplace. However, foods give energy and help a person
active and live all time. Unfortunately, there is also a food
security issue despite several governmental plans and
projects to save lives.

Mind Setup
The need for the crucial phases is to stay positive-minded,
always alert, and ready to eat healthy foods. These are the
tools that always keep human active and healthy. A lot of
green vegetables, fruit and water along with some physical
exercise and sound sleep are the essential requirements for
daily practise during these crucial days, as advised by
World Health Organization (WHO) and health authorities.
Since there is no vaccine or specific drug to treat COVID-
19; so a person's healthy immune system and a sharp mind set
up synergistically may help to face these COVID phase. The
excellent health signifies not only physical health but also
psycho-behavioural wellbeing.
Lifestyles Changes
Measures taken to curb the spread of this pandemic viral
infections, SARS-CoV-2 infection are social distancing, and
that has been made possible by nationwide lockdown
resulting in disease containment. However, such measures
have a massive impact on the diet of an individual because of
the sudden change of lifestyle and less physical activity in
lockdown period. Less physical activity results in low-calorie
expenditure affect the health of an individual. Further,
fear, anxiety related to the uncertainty of the
surroundings, also impact the psychological wellness, and
that has a profound effect on individual physiology too.
Therefore, regular physical exercise or yoga asana,

Conclusion
COVID-19 infections can only be managed or reduced by
maintaining social distancing, personal hygiene and immunity-
boosting functional foods. Any pathogen mainly virus can
quickly enter by the contamination and gradually affect the
organs, including the death of a person. Anyways that would
be difficult if there is a secure immunity system .Immunity
system of a human body works through a defence
mechanism which may be susceptible and vulnerable
because of the low level of protein, vitamins, minerals and
other essential nutrients. Here, foods play a significant role by
providing the proper nutrition which helps not only to
maintain all functions of all the systems of a human body
but also strengthen immunity system to fight against any
foreign particles like COVID-19. As per India's indigenous
cultures and traditional medicinal systems, foods are
medicines having almost nil side effects and available in
nature in the form of spices, fruits and vegetables. Hence,
foods as medicines as practical cum natural approach by
protecting the total human health.

Abstract
As the coronavirus pandemic rapidly sweeps across the world,
it is inducing a considerable degree of fear, worry and concerns
in the population at large and among a certain group in general
and pin particular, such as old adults, care providers and
people with underlying health condition.
Introduction
Due to covid pandemic the world wide population is already
heavily affected, such as Lombardy in Italy, issues of service
access and continuity for people with developing or exiting
mental health conditions are also now a major concern, along
with the mental health and well-being of frontline workers.

Abstract
Sleep and immune system are directly related. It is critical to
physical health and effective working of the immune system.
It’s also a key promoter of emotional well-being and mental
health, helping to beat back strain, depression, and anxiety.
Sleeplessness and other related disorders can take a heavy toll
on your physical and mental health. Inadequate quality sleep
can impact your energy, focus, and ability to function during
the day, especially if you have the added pressure of trying to
work from home or home school your kids. A lack of quality
sleep can also make you moody and short-tempered, cause
severe symptoms of anxiety and despair, and even lower your
immune system.
Introduction
As a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
outbreak in Wuhan (China) caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a state of socio-
economic crisis and mental agony rapidly occurred worldwide.
Although social events have been restricted in most countries,
almost all not essential individual movements were banned due
to quarantine, while the local hospitals received suddenly
thousands of critically ill COVID-19 patients and were required
to implement their emergency protocols. In this situation, the
overall population and most of the front-line healthcare
workers became susceptible to the emotional impact of COVID-

REM sleep lasts for about 80 - 110 minutes over the course of
the night. Typically, humans will have four to six of these
cycles in a sleep period [8]

Neuroimmune Interactions
Sleep is important for the proper functioning of the immune
system. The communication between sleep regulatory networks
in the central nervous system and the cells and tissues of the
immune system is bidirectional. In order to understand the
relationship between the nervous system and the immune
system, there are certain neuroimmune interactions based on
specific anatomical and physiological conditions: [15]

These cells aid immune defence and are accountable for the
discovery and removal of molecules and cells bearing foreign
antigens and/or altered self-antigens. This indicates in a
broader sense, cellular impairment and therefore danger. [14-

Conclusions
Our research and findings can aid design such interpositions
so that people who have seen their mental and emotional
health weakened during the pandemic can better manage with
this difficult situation in different countries. Considering this
current health catastrophe will most likely have long lasting
effects (Liu et al., 2020; Sun et al., 2020), follow-up studies are
needed to gain a clear picture of the extent of the psychological
impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Those who negatively suffer the
most are women, young people, and those who consider
themselves to be in the risk-population group because of the
comorbidities and age factors.

Immunity
In science, immunity is the capacity of multi-cell life forms to
oppose destructive microorganisms. The framework includes
certain pieces of the body. Undefined qualities go about as
boundaries or different antibodies to infections regardless of
their antigen development. A few segments of the framework
adjust to each new disease they create and may deliver
antibodies that are explicit to the infection.

Nutrition
Nutrition is characterized on the grounds that the interaction
by which a creature or plant enters and uses food items.
Fundamental supplements incorporate proteins, starches, fats,
nutrients, minerals, and electrolytes. Commonly, 85% of day by
day energy utilization comes from fats and sugars and 15%
from protein. In people, nourishment might be a significant
piece of the strategy for placing food in our mouths, biting, and
gulping. The predetermined measure of fundamental
supplements fluctuates predictable with age and wellness, for
instance, actual work, existing sicknesses (bladder malignancy,
bosom or bone disease - alluded to as osteoporosis), medicine,
pregnancy, and lactation.

Abstract
Legumes as a staple food are a beneficial part of human diet
contributing to health. Legumes as a crop have a significant
role in food and nutritional security of a large population of our
country suffering with malnutrition and micronutrient
deficiencies. The underutilized legumes are like a basket full of
nutrients such as high protein, carbohydrates, essential amino
acids, with low lipid content, good amount of iron, phosphorus
and B-complex vitamins such as carotene, thiamine, riboflavin,
niacin and vitamin C. It has a crucial role in food security; it is
also helpful in improving the soil fertility by fixing atmospheric
nitrogen. There are handful of various conventional legumes of
Central Himalaya which are playing crucial role in combating
the problem of protein-energy malnutrition. Apart from
nutritional prominence, legumes are known to have various
non-nutritive bioactive constituents with metabolic and
physiological effects and thus, associated with the reduced
chances of chronic non- communicable diseases.
Introduction
Legumes are known to add importance to the daily dietary
needs of the Indian households. Legumes help to ensure food
and nutritional security during conditions such as drought,
famine and dry season, which is among the convincing issues

These legume crops are most suitable for the dried areas and
can be grown under moderate rainfall. It is also incorporated
into the soil as green manure to enrich the soil fertility which
makes it suitable as drought resistant and thus, requires less
irrigation facility. Leguminous crops in India are primarily
grown on light sandy soils, red loams, black cotton soils and
gravels. However, certain factors such as water logging and
excess alkalinity in soils are known to have detrimental effect
on these food crops.

Conclusion
The study disclosed extensive possibility of Himalayan
cultivated legumes in inter-cropping technique. Inter-cropping
approach seems to be a favorable approach to capture the
decline in soil fertility, also increasing the productivity,
availability and accessibility of nutrients to a broad range of
population. Uttarakhand (India), a mesmerized and stunning
beautiful state has been bestowed with a wide range of pulses
and legumes having surplus amount of nutritional value in
combination with the naturally occurring phytochemical
constituents. Taking into account, the nutritious, healthful and
bioactive facets of legumes like horse gram and black
soyabean, these can be said to have a great potential for
further utilization as nutraceuticals, forage and food for
malnourished areas of the world. Legumes can go a far way in
eliminating malnutrition, which is one of the major threats in
fostering development. It will assist to accomplish the agenda
of sustainable development goals (SDGs) such as to end
hunger, attain better food security and improved nutrition
status and to promote sustainable agriculture. Legumes can be
an indigenous answer to the big question of protein-energy
malnutrition arising and increasing its pace across worldwide.

Abstract
As we all are well aware of the adverse impacts of Covid
pandemic on our social, mental, emotional as well as physical
health status. It is claimed that the coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) pandemic has had a negative impact on mental
health. However, to date, prospective studies are lacking.
Moreover, it is important to identify which factors modulate the
stress response to the pandemic.
Introduction
The behavior of an individual as a unit of society or a
community has marked effects on dynamics of a pandemic that
involves the level of severity, degree of flow and after effects
Rapid human to human transmission of SARS-COV-2 resulted
in the enforcement of regional lockdowns to stem the further
spread of the disease. Isolation, social distancing and closure of
educational institutes, workplaces and entertainment venues
consigned people to stay in their homes to help break the chain
of transmission.

Abstract
Life was very happy before CoVID-19, invisible enemy. This
virus create not only Global Health Crises but also disturb our
ontology and ethics. According to some researcher pneumonia
like infection has been identified in Wuhan, China(Wang et al
2020). Further it spread all over the world and become
pandemic. It effect not only our physical health but also mental
health too. Nobody can say about how long the pandemic will
continue? Incident of pandemic are not new to humanity. We
have used plant to overcome this problem since ancient time.
Plants are natural laboratories of many secondary metabolites,
work as our immune system booster but also inhibit the
growth of disease causal agent in human body.
Introduction
CORONA virus cause pneumonia like disease in various type of
mammals and their symptoms may be mild or lethal.
Rhinovirus produce only mild symptoms while SARS, MERS
and Covid-19 shows mild to lethal symptoms. Lots of
depression creat in entire humanity by Covid-19 due to their
high spreading rate and lethality. People suffering from any
kind of disease like cancer, heart trouble etc. badly effected.
Senior citizen mostly have weak immune system so it becomes
a soft target of this disease. India is a country of diabetic and
heart patients. Poor sanitization, lack of education, dense
population, less awareness, weak social distancing , ignore
wearing mask etc. creat a critical atmosphere of survivability of
human being. If we want to overcome the challenges, it is
necessary to pay high attention on our immune system.

Abstract
This paper aims to study the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on
Women’s lifestyle. The Novel corona virus outbreak severely
affect the lifestyle of Women’s, who are the main pillar of the
family. In our study I have taken help of digital platform (google
form) for filling the questionnaire. The questionnaire contains
22 questions. The 100 questionnaires were sent to related
women but only 83 women responded. By using Mean &
Standard Deviation some positive and negative impact of
pandemic on Women’s lifestyle is shown. Along with, the
suggestions have been provided to overcome the problem.
Introduction
Women are not only the pillars for a family but also for the
society. Throughout all the era of civilization the status of the
Women’s in the society is significant. Most of the Women in
India are financially dependent on their male counter parts
(father, brother, husband) which is the major drawback for the
socio-economic development. In this difficult phase of COVID -
19 Pandemic, especially during lockdown phases Women are
the major losers in their major aspects. The Women had extra
responsibilities on their shoulders like cooking, taking care of
kids and families, other professional work (teaching online,
banking, software employees, webinars, and online seminars,
online exams etc. as in India complete lockdown was imposed

ISBN: 978-93-5473-518-9
on 22nd March 2020. In our study area too, the problems were
similar like, Women’s had to suffer a lot because their daily life
style effects to the great extent, they are over loaded with works
of their own along with their family and at the same time
Women are facing verbal or physical assaults by their male
counter parts. Women had been tortured by their husband’s
(mainly) because of alcohol banning, losing of jobs, poverty etc.
The phase of lockdown were so distressing that most of the
Women who were earning their livelihood from small jobs
(services), were force to earn their livelihood through informal
sectors (selling vegetables, flowers, fruits, handloom,
handicrafts) for their families and their living. Due to
educational pressure by the schools and colleges mother’s
responsibilities has been exploited (especially for small kids) at
the same time gender bias has also been increased as
guardian’s preference education for the boy child rather than a
girl child. Women represent a vital phase of the body of
workers. However, the present scenario of a large variety of
nicely certified women who due to diverse circumstances had
been unnoticed in their jobs desires to be addressed.
Accomplishing an amazing balance between work and own
family commitments is a growing problem for cutting-edge
personnel and corporations.

Review of Literature
Hall, (1990) In ancient times, the percentage of Women as
housewives were low and men as wage earners were high. But
now in current India, the percentage of double-earner couples
is rapidly increasing and changes in the workforce are going
along with changes in ethics and creating a new prominence on
the balance between family life and work-life.
Burki, T. (2020) Women were 1·5 times more likely than men to
have either quit their job or lost it during the lockdown in UK.
Pregnant Women are at the huge risk during covid.

Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan turned into a public
health emergency of international concern. The presence of
carriers without obvious symptoms and traditional public
health intervention measures are significantly less effective.
The need is to look for the preventive care. This chapter
emphasizes on the role of diet and nutrition to cope up with the
deleterious effects of disease and its importance in prevention
of COVID-19 infection through boosted immunity. And while
nations are surrounded by the potential risks for humanity
posed by this virus, few key actions can be adopted by
individuals to combat this pandemic. Eating healthy diet along
with the regular physical activities may have promising results
in boosting immunity and the synergistic effects are not only
limited to immunity they have numerous other health benefits
as well. It is the time to take charge of our health by changing
life style. We need to eat healthier foods and exercise more to
control weight and lower the risk of severe illness and other
health complications.

Introduction
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a new coronavirus.
The most common symptoms are cough, cold, headache, flu-
like symptoms. Some of the cases with the mild infection get
recovers without any hospitalization and some of them
experiencing severe infection require immediate medical
attention may need ventilation as well. The incubation period is
14-24 days in most of cases symptoms appear in 5-6 days and
maximum can take up to 14-24 days. This disease which
started as an epidemic mainly limited to China was declared as
a pandemic on 11th March 2020 by the WHO.

Galium aparin L.
Distribution, habit, habitat, morphology & Indigenous uses
Galium aparin belongs to ffamily Rubiaceae. It is ccommonly
known as Goosegrass and llocally as Kuri or Dhanpatri. It is a
annual branched herb found trailing and climbing around
support in wastelands, crop fields, around hedges and in
meadows, up to an altitude of 3000 m in different parts of HP.
Tender shoot tips and young leaves are edible and used as
potherb with other available greens. Leaves are used in
making tea and are also an excellent addition to soup,’ kachru’
and ‘chutneys’. Dried and roasted seeds are good substitute of
coffee and known as poor men coffee.

Urtica dioica L.
Distribution, Habit, habitat, morphology & Indigenous uses
of Urtica dioica.
Utica dioica comes from botanical family Uricaceae, commonly
known as nettle or stinging nettle and locally as Koogas,
Koogsi, Bichu booti and Bichu ghas in different parts of HP. It
is a widespread perennial herb found growing all over the HP
mostly in Mandi, Shimla, Solan, Kinnor, Kangra, Hamirpur &
Bilaspur district at moist sites along with streams, in open
forests, on mountain slopes, ditches and in disturbed areas
such as roadsides and old fields. It causes itching and
inflammatory effect on body when touched. So, it is also called
as “stinging nettle, stinger and common nettle” in English. This
is the reason that people especially kids afraid to go nearby to
this plant. People frequently use this plant to teach lesson to
their children, so it is often known and used as children
teacher. In spite of its luxuriant growth, rich medicinal and
nutritive values it is totally ignored plant in HP till date and
only very few people (mostly living in hills) use this plant as a
food, medicine and fodder.
Harvesting
People cover their hands with gloves or by wrap cloth around
hands while collecting the leaves. Most convenient method is to
collect young leaves with tong. The leaves lose their stinging
property after the these are soaked in water. The stinging effect
completely vanishes after cooking.

Traditional Dishes
Traditionally nettle is cooked into leafy vegetable (saag), kachru
and chutney. Most common preparation from it is saag (cooked
leaves). But sometimes chutney and kachru or masoru are also
prepared. Nettle saag is a quite popular in the hills and is a
seasonal delicacy in winters. Local people of hills mainly eat
nettle saag along with maize roti for its warming effect on body,
while People in plains prefer its chutney more as compare to
saag. Addition of souring agent like anardana (Dried Punica
granatum seeds) in chutney neutralize its warming effect.
People also intake nettle leaves as tea for weight reduction
program (Fig.2.).

Conclusion
Traditional knowledge of using wild plant as a source of food,
vegetable and medicine has declined in recent few years and is
at the verge of extinction among youth due to modernization,
urbanization and westernization resulting into many lifestyle
diseases like depression, diabetes, high blood pressure and
present threats of COVID -19. So, need of hour is to document
traditional knowledge and involve wild growing edible herbs in
our day-to-day life. This can be done by making traditional
recipes with some modern twist, so that young generation

Abstract
Food is very vital for every living organism. It is required for a
healthy life. We take different types of food in our daily life. But
during a Pandemic situation like Covid 19, the choice and type
of food become more meaningful and important. so we have to
think wisely while taking food during this critical situation.
This article has described about some changes people have
made in selecting the type of food during Covid Pandemic. A big
focus is on boosting immunity. The information and statement
present in the article are according to the changing food habit
of some people of a particular region.
Keywords: Pandemic, Covid-19, immunity
“In the days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number of
cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected
countries climb even higher. ...Covid-19 can be characterised
as a Pandemic. Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or
carelessly.”

the availability of orange was felt short and the price of ripe
papaya and lemon went very high.
Covid pandemic changed not only the food habit of the people
but made them consciuos regarding the time for taking food.
During lockdown and shutdown going outside home was
restricted. The emergency departments only were functioning
with limited staff. People working in private and public sectors,
either worked from home or didnot attend offices in the wake of
covid pandemic. Since they remained indoor, the habit of
taking food in time became a practice. Besides, the numbers of
taking food also increased. Some people didnot skip breakfast
as they were doing earlier under pressure of reaching at the
work places in time. For many people, drinking fruit juice and
sipping soup became priority.

Abstract
Coronavirus is a common non-dangerous virus for human
beings. It causes respiratory illness as infection in the nose,
upper throat, and sinuses. In December 2019, an outbreak in
China and identified by WHO as a new SARS-CoV-2 virus,
named COVID 19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) which causes
severe respiratory tract infection and high fatality. This virus
causes severe infection in the upper respiratory tract and
lowers respiratory tract having symptoms like normal flu virus-
like fever, body pain, congestion in the chest, breathlessness,
etc., and shows highly contagious and a large population is
susceptible to infection. Infected persons and animals are the
major sources that are transmitted by coughing droplets and
direct control. The intermediate source of origin and transfer
are not known, however human to human transfer is widely
known. The spreading of the virus caused thousands of deaths
and having an enormous impact on the health system and
world economy. However, perfect vaccination is not known yet.
Prevention is better than cure is the most important theme for
this endemic disease. Recently India developed a safe and

Introduction
A novel coronavirus or ‘COVID-19’ by the World Health
Organization(WHO) is having responsible for the
present episode of pneumonia which started at the starting of
December 2019 close in Wuhan City, China (Crman, et al.,
2020; Read et al., 2020; Fongs et al., 2020 and Hui et al.,
2020). In December 2019, an episode of pneumonia
of obscure beginning was detailed in Wuhan, Hubei Territory,
China. After some time, this mysterious pneumonia causing
agent was identified as a novel coronavirus (He et al., 2020).
Coronaviruses are a magnanimous family of infections that are
known to cause sickness extending from the flu to more
extreme infections like Middle East Respiratory Disorder
(MERS) and Extreme Intense Respiratory Disorder (SARS). Six
sorts of human coronavirus have been officially accepted.
These include HCoV-OC43, HCoVHKU1, Extreme Intense
Respiratory Disorder coronavirus (SARS-Corona virus), Middle
East Respiratory Disorder coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which is
the sort of the Betacoronavirus, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV229E,
which are a fraction of the Alphacoronavirus. COVID-19 has
come to 150 countries and more, counting starts from China,
and has caused WHO to call the infection an around the world
widespread. At the end of the 2nd week of April 2020, cases
surpassed 18, 738, 58, although more than 1, 160, 45 passing
were noted around the world and Joined together States of
America got to be the worldwide epicenter of coronavirus
(Fongs, et al., 2020).
History
In 31st December 2019, when the World Health Organization
(WHO) was officially educated nearly a bundle of cases of
pneumonitis in Wuhan City, domestic to 11 million individuals

Morphology of Corona
Corona viruse (CoVs) belong to family Coronaviridae, sub-
family Orthocoronavirinae, order Nidovirales, and genus
Betacoronavirus. They are 80-220nm in size and symmetrical
particles shape of a crown ("Corona" in Latin - Crown) having a
spike-like projection on the surface of the virus and
subsequently the name. It contains single-stranded, plus
strands non-segmented RNA genetic material, 26–32 kb in size
(Sawicki, and Sawicki, 2005). The descriptive structure of the
covid-19 virus is incompletely understood yet. India framed the
earliest information about the structure for the virus was
explained using throat swab sample fixed in glutaraldehyde
and then negative staining demonstrated round-shaped virus
with an average size of 70–80 nm (Prasad et al., 2020). COVID
mutates rapidly causing infections, through forthright (infected
human-to non-infected human) and collateral (Contact with
contaminated object) contact to person (Wu et al., 2020).
Structure
For the COVID identification, cells are earlier fixed in 2%
paraformaldehyde and 2.5% glutaraldehyde, and seen in high
magnification microscope such as TEM, manifested particular
morphology of COVID19 having a range of 70-90 nm particle

Epidemiology
COVID-19's first case was claimed in China. Major
epidemiologists proposed the initial eruption is related to the
market where wild animals are sold for human diet as well as
seafood (Sun et al., 2020). Epidemiologists claimed that direct
and close contact is responsible for the initial eruption. As a
result of the initial eruption, the virus spread inside and
outside China (200 countries or more) through the mass
gathering on Chinese New Year celebration and other causes

Pathogenesis
COVID-19 spike protein attaches to ACE2 (the angiotensin
converting enzyme 2), enters inside the cell, and causes
infection. Finishing entry, spike protein needs to be briefed y
an enzyme protease. The virus completes this process by using
an enzyme protease called TMPRSS2 similar to SARS-CoV
(Forrester et al., 2020), and connect spike protein with ACE2
(cellular legend), energized by TMPRSS2 as a required protease.
After insertion of virus the target cell opens, genetic material is
transcribed and then translated. Assembled protein over the
cellular membrane helps genomic RNA to incorporate by
promising from the internal cell membranes (Kumar et al.,
2020). The COVID pathological findings are identical to an
infected person of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV infected patients
(Jevanathan et al., 2020).
Immunization
The world is in desperate require of secure, successful COVID-
19 immunization procedures. Numerous research facilities and
companies have mixed to quickly create these antibodies,
coming about more than 160 antibody candidates, have a
modest bunch, entered the stage I, II, and III clinical trials
inside a brief period of 6 months (Kaur and Gupta, 2020).

Future perspective
WHO declared COVID-19 has as of late risen and pronounced
as wide spread. COVID-19 genetic arrangements put forward to
the database of NCBI, the logical community has analyzed the
tests and recommended preventive and restorative techniques.
Subsequently, the examination of genomic differences within
the gathered examples should be organized to plan general
compelling treatments. In expansion, genomic characterization
makes a difference in us precisely distinguish the beginning
and advancement of the infection. Disentangling the device of
COVID-19 replication in different cell-based models can help
us achieve pathogenesis and recognize particular marks to
create viable drugs against the virus. In expansion to this
hopeful low effect, in case the avoidance measures will be
executed, we seem to enlist a lower rate of hygiene-linked
maladies that still speak to driving causes of passing (Di
Gennaro et al., 2020).

Abstract
The COVID-19 Pandemic has been seriously affecting
humankind and keeps on influencing all fragments of the
populace since its root. Its after effects have been
vulnerability, casualty, and absence of general wellbeing
readiness. The point of the article is to investigate the effect of
this phenomenal climate on emotional wellness of people. It will
examine finally some inferences of the causal pathways of
mental pain/messes and recommend techniques to forestall
and advance psychological wellness in people during this
emergency. The emotional wellness impacts of COVID-19 are
everybody everywhere and it is imperative to address similar to
the actual wellbeing impacts.
Introduction
The spurt of Covid pandemic is called Severe Respiratory
Syndrome - Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is caused by a
destructive pneumonia flare-up in Wuhan, China . It is
believed to be the continuation of genuine plagues brought
about by Middle East respiratory condition Covid (MERS-CoV)
and serious intense respiratory disorder (SARS) in Middle East
(2009) and Guangdong, China, separately . The COVID-19
disease, originated from China quickly spreaded to the other
parts of the world . In the given situation there is a pressing
need to plan for the outcomes of related plagues and
pandemics. The consequences of this pandemic are not only
physical harmful but it also severely effected the emotional

Conclusions
The psychological impact of Covid-19 outbreaks has been
moderate to severe. Some sections of society were reported
moderate to severe depressive symptoms and severe anxiety
levels. Therefore the problem of mental wellbeing is needed to
be treated on equal measures to medical health care. Isolation,
loss of income and fear caused by the pandemic are
exaggerating the mental health conditions. In the given
situation many people might have been resorted to increased

Abstract
Recently the world is going through a global pandemic COVID-
19 caused by SARS – COV2. Which has raised huge and
difficult challenges in front of world for every layer of society
and from every aspect, be it economy crisis, temporary
unemployment, starvation, collision of fundamental services,
educational pause, it has affected every sector globally. This
disease is hitting the medical system of almost 213 countries
brutally. If we talk about health issues raised by global
pandemic, so at one side where it is drastically dangerous for
physical health of a person, at the same time there are many
psychological impacts of COVID-19 on human health. Its
highly spreading nature is the reason why restrictions have
been made to cope against its growth throughout the world,
due to which almost everyone whether they are student,
teachers, business persons, is locked inside to stop the
outbreak of this virus. Now this situation leads to the mental
health issues in people sitting far apart from each other since
long, a feeling of loneliness, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and
other negative emotions of mental illness can be seen largely in
people during pandemic around the globe. There could be
many reasons, like sitting at home for so long, fear of being
infected by the virus, bereavement, rumors and myths in the
society about diseases and what not. The main aim of this
work is to study the psychological impacts of COVID-19 on
human health, what are the different symptoms, what could be

Introduction
Wuhan, China at 31st December 2109, reported initial cases of
deadly pandemic in a cluster having symptoms of pneumonia.
On 20th January 2020, Official actions were started taken to
fight against it after being declared as B-type infectious disease
by National Health Commission [1]. And till 11th March 2020,
only after a month later WHO declared corona virus as Global
pandemic [2]. Conditions gets worsen as people were travelling
in the initial days before the declaration of pandemic and
restrictions were made. This made approximately 213 countries
to suffer. COVID-19 has raised difficult challenges in front of
whole world in all aspects. During pandemic economy of most
of the developed countries drooped by 7% [3]. Similarly if we
talk in terms of human health, it has drastically shaken the
primary medical system of almost every country. With almost
117M cases till date and 2.59M deaths around the globe [4]. It
usually spread when someone comes in closed contact with
infected person (less than 1 meter) [5]. On one hand where
people are fighting from physical health issues raised by
infection, there are several psychological impacts too of COVID-
19 on human health. “State of well being, where an individual
can easily cope with the situation of stress, realizes own
abilities while making contributions to his/her community [6].
When addressing COVID-19 as global pandemic WHO has
already warned that this will raise the fear, anxiety, stress, and
other mental illness emotions in people which may result in
negative psychological impacts of it on human health [7].
COVID-19 has socially and emotionally affected people’s health
that has negative but not yet estimated consequences [8].
these are the situations we are not used to, and hence chances
of being mentally ill during pandemic are high. Its initial
symptoms could be depression and anxiety which can lead to
major mental breakdown later [1]. There is constant fear of
being infected, stress about our friend’s and families’ health.
Changes in eating habit, sleeping disorder, irritation etc, are
some of the symptoms. There are several ways to fight against
this traumatized phase like using social media but to a limited
extent, proper sleeping, healthy eating habit, meditation, yoga,
etc. we will discuss about this later in this chapter.

Students
This portion covers majority of youth, whether they are school
kids, university or college going students. In the beginning of
March 2020, when restrictions were put up as a prevention of
COVID-19 outbreak all the university, school and colleges
stand closed for almost 8 to 9 months and still closed. This
situation becomes a reason of educational pause at beginning,
but as soon as officials realized that pandemic will take more of
2020, remote educational plan came into play. Improperly
managed remote educational system becomes a reason of
stress and anxiety in students. Virtual classes, frequent
assignments and social isolation from friends also need to be
considered when talking about psychological impacts of
COVID-19 on students. And the worst part is mental illness in
students can affect the ability to concentrate shown by a study
[13]. Our small survey assessment shows that 41.6% students
reported lack of ability to concentrate symptom
Patients of COVID-19
A rapid development of symptoms of mental disorder can be
seen among the patients of COVID-19. Improper and
incomplete information about nature of virus is one reason in
early stages of pandemic. As in early stage of pandemic there
were no proper medicines available for cure and different
vaccines were also under trial. In addition, recommendation
made by WHO for COVID-19 patients, that an Isolation period
of 14 days is must for COVID-19 patients, was salt in the
wound. This raised the cases of significant level of anxiety,
confusion, stress, and anger among them [15]. While fear of
death, becomes constant among them. When compared to
people not suffering from COVID-19, patients of COVID-19
shows higher level of PTSD according to studies made in this
area [16]. Aside from it, there are patients who were already
fighting with some other diseases like asthma, diabetes etc,
and some prior mental disorder problems too.
Health professionals
The biggest reason among health workers and Doctors to
develop negative emotions of mental disorder like, stress,
anxiety, irritation, anger and other, is the huge exposure to the
disease which increase the chance of being infected by COVID-
19 at a rapid rate as compared to other people. When every
other service whether they are public or private are in idle
state, medical sector is the one where people are working even
more due to the increase workload. There are doctors, nurses,
cleaning staff at hospitals, lab technicians, ambulance staff,
and many other health professionals who are in direct contact
with patients of COVID-19. A study on 1563 health
professionals shows, depressive symptoms in more than
50.7%, while symptoms of anxiety and sleeping issues were
44.7% and 36.1% respectively [17]. On other hand global
supply chain of medical equipments, medicines, protective kits
and other essential equipments had also been questioned in
many countries during pandemic. For example if talk about US
medical system it was estimated that there will be not enough
ventilators for patients in upcoming time [18]. So all these
short comes becomes a reason of mental disturbance in health
professionals.

Elders
In elders, fear is more as compared to youth. Fighting against a
disease is all about what a strong immune system do but in
elder people lack of fighting capability from diseases becomes
dangerous for physical as well as for mental health. Also it can
be seen that even before pandemic mental distress problems
are more in elders than others. Risk of being infected increases
with age [19]. All these factors are enough to create negative
psychological impacts in them in the time of global pandemic
COVID-19.
General solution
There is a problem of providing essential diagnosis for mental
health in this time because a psychologically disturbed person
can’t be examined in face to face because it increases the
chances of transmission of virus rapidly [20]. WHO also
recommended that mental health services should also be a part
of recovery plan for COVID-19 [21]. A work suggests use of PFA
(psychological first aid) immediately after such mental crisis
[22]. PFA is first psychological treatment and it includes family
members, friends and other people around you [23]. Other
ways to fight against this situation are given below.
Psychology as a profession
Pandemic situation is a reason of mental disorder and a reason
for not getting proper treatment as well. According to WHO

Artistic Activities
Artistic activities like dancing, singing, painting, writing, etc
play important role in maintaining a healthy mental situation
especially in the time of pandemic. There are enough evidences
of arts and creativity being a positive approach towards
overcoming the emotions of anxiety and depression, also it is a
cost effective method [27]. It is also known as creative therapy.
Yoga/meditation
Yoga and meditation are very helpful in attaining mental peace
in lockdown situation at home. It can reduce the mental stress.
Different forms of yoga like, Yogasana, Sahajyoga, had shown
positive results, in the treatment of depression [28].
Conclusion
Conclusion can be made that COVID-19 pandemic has raised
many mental disorder problems in people on a large scale
throughout the world. Reasons could be financial instability,
increased workload, and social detachment from loved ones
and so on. So there are several solutions suggested, like we
have discussed about awareness, campaigns, healthy lifestyle
and an optimistic approach when living in between of a
pandemic. Also there is a need of taking psychology as a
serious profession to fulfill the future demands in this area.

Abstract
The paper is examined to present the redefined role of teachers
in the perspective of online teaching. The concept of online
teaching is not very new but in rapidly changing and
unprecedented scenario due to COVID 19 pandemic, it has
become more relevant and need of the hour. But online
teaching demands a shift or transformation on the part of
teachers from traditional approach to teaching to more
innovative ways of online teaching. For online teaching
teachers are supposed to develop or groom some new skills like
pedagogy of distance learning, digital platforms like Google
meet , Gypsy or zoom app, online lectures, video calls. At the
same time they will have to be more and more explorative in
their teaching and learning practices. Thus online teaching or
virtual teaching which has appeared as an alternative to
traditional classroom teaching encompasses many possibilities
as regards to teaching profession. There is a myth that online
teaching can replace the importance of teachers but this can
never be true. On the other hand there must be a nice blending
between face to face teaching and digital education or virtual
classroom teaching. Technology in itself is not of much
significance but it becomes one of the prominent tools for
learning when treated or handled efficiently by the teacher. In
online teaching we may see or visualize varied roles of teachers
like Facilitator, Guide, Mentor, Motivator, Role model, Co-
learner, and Effective Communicator. But at the same time
there are some challenges while teaching online. These
challenges may be in the form of Not being able to observe the
Non-verbal cues like the body language of the learner ,
Inclusiveness in teaching learning process, Distracted learners,
Face to face interaction, Too much dependence on technology,

Introduction
The whole world is undergoing a very serious pandemic disease
COVID 19 and it has tremendously affected health, economy,
employment, trade and commerce and society as well.
Education sector (schools and colleges) is also not an exception
to this. On 20th march 2020 all the school buildings and
institutions were closed due to sudden lockdown but teaching
and learning practices didn’t stop with that in India. Teachers
and schools adopted new ways of connecting with students
within 5 to 6 days through online mode. The concept of online
teaching is not very new but in rapidly changing and
unprecedented scenario due to COVID 19 pandemic, it has
become more relevant and need of the hour. However, its
success and implementation largely depends upon the
acceptance and adaptability of teachers to online modes and
tools of education. Previously teachers had been engaged and
accustomed to traditional classroom teaching where they would
interact with the students directly or face to face. But online
teaching demands a shift or transformation on the part of
teachers from traditional approach of teaching to more
innovative ways of online teaching. For online teaching
teachers are supposed to develop or groom some new skills like
pedagogy of distance learning, digital platforms like Google
meet, Gypsy or zoom app, online lectures, video calls. At the
same time they will have to be more and more explorative in
their teaching and learning practices. Thus online teaching or

our thinking to others like Mr. Google. When the learner gets
all sorts of stuff in readymade, he loses the insight or inherent
tendency or latent potential of original thinking. Increasing
dependence on technology has severely impacted the memory
of human beings. When there were no cell phones, we used to
remember all the phone numbers. But now we have almost lost
this talent. The moment laptop is gone, knowledge is gone. This
shows how we have lost our power of memory due to increasing
dependence on technology. In online teaching it is really very
difficult to ensure the participation of learners because the
learners are at distant places. In routine classroom or in a
formal classroom setup where teachers and students interact
face to face , teachers can easily understand and figure out to
what extent are the students participating in the classroom
and whether they are really comprehending or grasping the
concepts or not. Not only their ( students’) verbal or physical
participation but also their body language or non-verbal
expressions help the teacher a lot to determine their classroom
participation. There are some other factors which are also
associated with this. Giving proper feedback and reinforcement
to the students as regards to their performance and classroom
participation is lacking in online teaching which is an integral
and essential component of teaching learning process in a real
classroom. In online teaching one of the major challenges is to
cope up with the issue of multimodality. We know our
classrooms are not homogeneous but heterogeneous. In other
words we can say there is a large variety in our class. Students
come from various social and linguistic backgrounds; their
style of learning is altogether different .They are at different
pedestals of learning since they have varied pace of learning.
Such things can’t be handled efficiently in online teaching. In
virtual classroom teachers have certain limitations especially if
the learning platform does not support multimodality. These
days teachers and schools have adopted an innovative tool of
evaluation i.e. Continuous and comprehensive evaluation
(CCE). Since learning is an ongoing and continuous process, its
evaluation must be the same. In Continuous assessment we
conduct both formative and summative assessment. Formative
assessment goes simultaneously along with teaching learning

There are various people who believe that online teaching will
decrease the dependence on teachers or online teaching will
replace teachers. Some people who are over-ambitious about
the virtual teaching or online teaching do not even hesitate to
proclaim that virtual classes would diminish the significance of
real classrooms. But this is just an exaggeration because the
importance of classrooms will always remain. We know school
is the miniature of society and where certain qualities of life
and certain values of society are inculcated among children.
Learning takes place only in classrooms is not true but at the
same time whatever we learn in the class is the core of
learning. Students learn various things in actual classroom
situation explicitly and inexplicitly. We can’t avoid and ignore

Conclusion
It is evident that due to COVID 19 there is a churning and
overhauling that is taking place in society. People have started
changing their life style and habits due to circumstantial
pressure of pandemic disease. Although these changes are in
the form of a sudden response to the risk of life posed by
COVID yet I do feel these changes in some of the dimensions of
human life will not be momentary or short living. Education is
one of those dimensions. We have adopted and utilized the
online teaching platforms as an immediate response to the
situation in which we have been forced to shut down schools
and we have to maintain social distancing. But it will be having
long lasting implications in the field of formal education
system. Already we had the mechanism of distance learning in
the form of IGNOU and NIOS. But it was not very popular and
it had a very limited use of technology. During this period we
have learnt through own experiences that online teaching can
be a very effective tool for both formal and non-formal teaching.
It assimilates technology with distance learning. In India we
have the first generation teachers and students who been
engaged in teaching learning process through online mode.
This kind of engagement is really unprecedented and we could
not even think of it before March 2020 in India. On the basis of
my personal experience I have realized that all the teachers
whether government or private teachers have been developing
their online skills by joining some kind of groups of teachers.

Introduction
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses identified by their crown
like structure under the microscope, which gives it a name
“CORONA”. The members of this family of viruses are known to
infect and cause diseases in animals and humans. Previously,
six other coronaviruses involving the 2003 Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and 2012 Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), were identified to cause
infection in humans. After the SARS outbreak in 2003,
Scientists have discovered a number of SARS related
coronaviruses originating from their natural host- Bats with a
potential to infect humans. It was the birth of “life threatening
virus” – SARS-CoV-2 so found in December 2019 and named
as COVID-19, blamed to be originated from Hubei region of

nasal or throat swab sample and conducting a Real time
reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
