The world community is facing a pandemic of COVID -19, which is caused by infection of novel corona virus-2. The disease has spread globally with a total of 27.2 Cr conrmed cases, 53.3 L deaths and 24.3 Cr recovered as of December 13. Primarily; it involves the respiratory system and in due course of time affects the other systems too. The pathophysiology and management are still evolving in modern medicine, while developments of vaccine are under the way. As per Ayurveda, it is type of Aupasargikaroga (infectious disease) that is Sankramakaroga (communicable disease) in nature and later on it may derange the basic matrix of bio-humours and alter the status of Agnis (bio-res) and Ojas (immune strength). In view of this, different treatments guidelines have been recommended in the classics of Ayurveda by considering the genetic constitution (Prakriti), kala, bala and other epigenetic factors of the patient. Besides, specic recommendations for Ahara (diet), Nidra (sleep) and Brahmacharya (code of conduct related to mental and physical activities) have also been mentioned to target physical, mental, social and spiritual health. In this context authors have tried to explore the preventive aspects which are feasible for general public to become free from COVID-19 through Ayurveda.

This study employed purposive sampling method to determine the number of respondents.

The Status

Honesty is regarded as a basic ethical value in all educational programmes, and academic integrity is of undisputed importance in educational environments. The literature reviewed revealed that academic dishonesty is wide-ranging and also encountered in the nursing education environment. This phenomenon is of concern to the nursing fraternity because of the proven positive correlation between unethical academic practices and future unethical professional behaviour. Limited research data regarding academic dishonesty at nursing education institutions in South Africa and this correlation motivated the present study. The purpose was to examine the status of academic integrity amongst nursing students at a nursing education institution in the Western Cape. Formulated objectives guided investigation of several variables which impact upon academic integrity, for example the incidence of and student perceptions around academic dishonesty.A quantitative, descriptive survey design was used, with a self-reported questionnaire (based on literature review and study objectives) designed to obtain information about academic dishonesty. Provision was also made for qualitative input from the respondents by including three open-ended questions.It was found that academic dishonesty was a reality at the nursing education institution where this study was done. Cheating associated with plagiarism and assignments was identified as the main problem area. An unacceptably high level of dishonesty in completion of practical records was also an area of concern. The main recommendations are development and implementation of a code of honour and implementation of comprehensive academic integrity policies at the nursing education institution, with practical measures aimed at combating cheating in tests and examinations.
