Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). It primarily targets lung epithelial cells of human respiratory system. The original strain of coronavirus was first identified at the end of December 2019 and emerged during an outbreak in Wuhan, China. The SARS-CoV-2 infection is mostly seen in the people with weak immune system. There are different ex-situ approaches to prevent the infection of corona virus viz., use of masks, sanitizing body and surfaces and maintaining social distance. But apart from them, in-situ prevention approaches like inclusion of nutrient rich healthy foods and herbs in daily diet helps to protect the body from inside by strengthening immune system. Thus, to strengthen immune system from inside we need to take immunity boosters, apart from normal healthy diet. These immunity boosters are prepared from leaves, roots, stems, flowers, barks and some other parts of medicinal and spice crops. These contain a mixture of proteins and other organic chemicals and carbohydrates, which include alkaloids, flavoids, glycosides, saponins, and terpenes. Kabasura kudineer, Nilavembu kudineer, Immuplus, Echinacea liquid, Immusarc, Septilin and immunity plus are some of the important immunotonics to strengthen and to protect body from infections and safeguard health. In this context we have to supplement our body with these immunity boosters to fight against not only COVID-19 but also other diseases.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 corona virus pandemic. As of 9 June 2020, more than 7.12 million cases have been reported across 187 countries and territories, resulting in more than 406,000 deaths. More than 3.29 million people have recovered. The virus is primarily spread between people during close contact, often via small droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, or talking. The disease has been given official name as COVID-19[1]. Since its outbreak in china, infrared thermometers were used to check the body temperature in order to identify the infected people. Countries like China and Korea started the use of different technologies to detect, track and prevent the spread of this deadly virus. Among the major technologies used are Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning. With the invent of 5G technologies, we are able to transfer and process huge amounts of data on a real time basis. Health experts have argued that a key tool at governments’ disposal to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, and which was not around during the 1918 Spanish Flu, is the ability to harness digital technologies to track the spread. At the same time, deployment of contact tracing apps by governments or public health authorities has added to the debate on online privacy and personal data protection. In this research paper, we discuss the potential application of different information and communication technologies (ICT) like IoT, AI and 5G that can help in (i) Monitoring (ii) surveillance (iii) detection and prevention of COVID-19 and enhancing the healthcare to make it future-ready for any such diseases like COVID-19.

Existence of Javanese culture is still inherent in modern times with beliefs that cannot be abandoned. Tradition nyetaki is an expression of gratitude to God about the birth of a child. Based on the view of Islam, it is called tahnik, which is to chew dates until smooth and then put into the baby's mouth and rub it into the palate so that there are some dates that are swallowed. In addi tion to dates, foods that are commonly used are sweet foods. Tahnik is done by people who are considered experts in religious science or have a high spiritual spirit. In the basics saliva and mouth store various kinds of bacteria. The phenomenon that occurs due to the tradition of tahnik is to strengthen the baby's immunity. The research method is descriptive explorative qualitative. Data and sources are obtained through observation to the community and literacy studies from various valid reference sources. This study examines the local wisdom that is trusted by the people of Java about Islamic immunization. Cultural know-how involves dental peristalsis, oral amylase enzymes, and bacteria in the mouth. Positive bacteria in the tahnik process will move to the baby's stomach so as to stimulate natural immunity. The bacteria contained in the mouth will make the natural immune system, so the body is resistant to these bacteria. The mouth contains an amylase enzyme that can break down glucose. Baby's glucose needs are less than 20 mg/100 mL - 30 mg/100 mL of blood so that they are susceptible to contracting the disease. So, dates or sweet foods that contain carbohydrates break down into simple molecules and speed up the digestive process. The spiritual value of the power of prayer and public trust strengthens the baby's immune system.

Novel Corona virus disease (COVID-19) was first identified in China, which eventually became a major global health concern due to its pathogenicity and widespread distribution around the world. In the mid-sixties of the previous century, the first two human Corona viruses (HCoV) were identified: HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43. These two human Corona viruses were studied extensively from approximately 1965 to the mid-1980s. HCoV-229E is a member of the group I Corona viruses, and HCoV-OC43 is a member of group II. 1Besides the human Corona viruses, there are several group I and group II animal corona viruses that infect cattle, pigs, cats, dogs, mice, and other animals. There is one additional branch, the group III Corona viruses, which are found exclusively in birds. By infecting healthy volunteers, researchers learned that infection with HCoV-229E or HCoV-OC43 results in a common cold, and since then, HCoVs have been considered to be relatively harmless respiratory pathogens. This image was roughly disturbed when severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV was introduced into the human population in the winter of 2002 to 2003 in China. SARS-CoV causes a severe respiratory illness with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, the Novel Corona Virus disease COVID 19 spreads around the world, killing people and turning them into corpses. The best way to do this in India, that is what it is there are many types of alkaloids in our Indian Medicinal Plants, which kill the virus of any kind and dispose of it. The alkaloids – Piperine, Curcumin, Allicin, Alliin, Allylsulfide, Allyldisulfide, Citric Acid, Acorbic Acid, Menthol, Gingerols, Shogaols, zingerone, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, eugenol, carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene etc., the alkaloids that are mentioned are not only killing the virus but also stimulate, and activate the immune system in the body and at the same develops human energy to fight against COVID 19. The preparation and methodologies of simple medicine briefly explained in the topic Novel Remedial Approaches against Virulent Corona Viruses.

Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection causing the current pandemic began as a cluster of cases in Wuhan Province of China which has now progressed to the current dangerously exponential rise of billions of cases all over the world.1 COVID19 virus is a single stranded RNA virus having zoonotic origin. It’s ability to cause cross infection is the reason for the current devastating pandemic.2 Adding to that, COVID-19 is also called as novel corona virus as such a strain of virus had never affected mankind before. The spectrum of infection is also quite interesting. Cases range from asymptomatic, mild infections having cold, cough and fever, to life threatening instances of acute respiratory failure requiring ventilator support and intensive care admission.3 With fewer treatment options available, vaccination in the pipeline, the major mode of management is symptomatic treatment. Higher antibiotics, immunity stimulant drugs, oxygen supplementation currently form the mainstay of treatment. The management of Covid-19 still remains us shooting in the dark, exploring for ground-breaking options which prevent mortality and morbidity. Another lesser explored facet of the Covid-19 infection, is its ability to rapidly disseminate in the body and not be restricted just to the respiratory system. This rapid dissemination is the reason for the multi-systemic involvement in extreme cases of Covid-19.4 There have been reported cases of Covid-19 along with neurological and cardiovascular involvement. The cardiovascular involvement can also range from chest pain and palpitations to emergencies like cardiac tamponade and cardiac failure. As the aetiology and complete progression of this disease is yet to be fully understood, such cases with multi-systemic involvement pose imminent challenges in treatment and management.5 Here, we are presenting a case of 29-year-old male Covid positive patient, who presented with chest pain and tachycardia and diagnosed as pericarditis.
