The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a pathogenic and transmittable viral disease cause by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and this disease was emerged on December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It
was later spread across the world, including United States, Great Britain, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Iran, Pakistan, India and other countries. The whole genome of SARS-CoV-2 shared some similarity with SARS virus, hence bat was
suspected to spread this virus in China. However human to human transfer was reported. In India, more than 300 COVID-19
cases were reported on March 21, 2020 and these numbers were increased as 892551 on July 13, 2020. These numbers of
COVID-19 cases were detected from a total of 11806256 samples according to the report given by Government of India. As
on July 13, Maharashtra state of India recorded a total of 254427 cases and 10289 deaths were registered. Tamilnadu was
another state screened more number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Maharashtra. As on July 6, 114978 COVID-19 cases
were reported in Tamilnadu and 1571 deaths were recorded. In Tamilnadu alone, over 3000 COVID-19 cases were reported
daily from July first week to second week and total cases were 142798 on July 13, 2020. Among these cases, 78573
COVID-19 cases were detected in Chennai city alone accounted about 62% of total COVID-19 cases. It was earlier believed
that patients over aged 60 and less than 10 were highly vulnerable to this disease. However, this disease affected all age
groups. To prevent COVID-19, no approved antiviral vaccine or drug has yet been discovered. COVID-19 is transmitted
through droplets during coughing and sneezing by symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers. Non-pharmaceutical interventions such as washing hands and social distancing are effective measures to control COVID-19 transmission in India. The
present study was designed to analyze the control measures of COVID-19 infection and ground reality to control COVID-19
outbreak.
