Coronavirus or also known as COVID 19 is an infectious virus/disease that was spreading across the

globe. In Wuhan, China, the virus first appeared on a local scale in November 2019, followed by the first
large cluster in December 2019. People who had no direct touch with animals became afflicted when
COVID-19 spread both inside and outside of China. That indicated that a human being can spread the
infection to another. People are unintentionally contracting and spreading the coronavirus as a result of
its continuous spread to the US and throughout the world. The World Health Organization declared a
pandemic on March 11, 2020, because to the widespread dissemination.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shocking loss of life on a global scale and poses an unprecedented
threat to food systems, public health, and the workplace. The social and economic costs of the
pandemic are numerous and varied, ranging from closing schools to destroyed industries and millions of
job losses. Covid-19 threatens to increase inequality around the world, undermining advances on global
poverty and clean energy, among other things. People become unreliable as a result of threats, and they
make judgments and take actions that they believe would help them regain control. Governments all
across the world are still sharing information and safety precautions to stop the pandemic at the
individual, local, and global levels. This information is distributed to the public through media and public
health channels, which are not all equally accessible. As a result, opinions on the disease, its severity,
and mortality differ among people. The information offered varies, there aren't many resources on the
condition, and people aren't familiar with all of its possible outcomes, which contributes to the notion
that it's risky.

When an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, sings, or breathes, the virus can spread from their
mouth or nose in minute liquid particles. From larger respiratory droplets to tiny aerosols, these
particles are diverse. If you are close to someone who has COVID-19, you can become infected by
breathing in the virus or by contacting a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose, or
mouth. In enclosed spaces and busy environments, the virus spreads more quickly.

People with COVID-19 have reported experiencing a wide range of symptoms, from minor discomfort to
serious sickness. 2 to 14 days after virus contact, symptoms may start to show. Anyone can experience
minor to major symptoms. Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue,
muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose,
nausea or vomiting, diarrhea are examples of possible symptoms you would experience from COVID -
19.

The coronavirus epidemic is still spreading around the world on an unpredictable trajectory. The speed
and strength of the recovery will depend on which countries' health, humanitarian, and socioeconomic
measures are implemented.
