Corona virus disease-2019 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-Co-2. The disease started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China resulting in pandemic. Common symptoms are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Loss of apetite, anosmia, conjunctivitis and diarrhoea are fewer common symptoms. The disease is mild in most people but may progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome in elderly patients and those with co-morbidities. The infection is spread from one person to another via respiratory droplets or contact with infected droplets. Preventive measures include frequent and thorough hand washing, maintaining distance from potential transmitter and not touching one’s face. Mask is recommended to suspects and to their caregivers. Presently there is no vaccine or specific treatment for COVID-19. Management involves treatment of symptoms, supportive care. World health organisation declared the 2019-2020 CoV outbreak a pandemic and a Public Health Emergency of International concern with death rate of 3.4%.

Tahun 2019 akhir, dunia digemparkan dengan kemunculan virus Corona Virus Disease 2019. Virus ini berasal dari kota Wuhan Provinsi Hubei, China. Perkembangan virus ini tergolong sangat cepat, oleh karena itu World Health Organisation (WHO) menyatakan Covid-19 sebagai pandemi global pada tanggal 11 Maret 2020. Penyebaran virus ini melalui udara atau droplet yang dihasilkan saat batuk ataupun saat bersin. Untuk mempercepat penanggulangan pandemi Covid-19, strategi yang dilakukan adalah pemberian vaksin untuk memberikan imun kepada setiap warga Negara. Pemberian vaksin ini adalah upaya Negara dalam melindungi hak atas kesehatan bagi setiap warga Negara di masa pandemic. Namun masih banyak masyarakat diindonesia yang menolak untuk diberikan vaksinasi Covid-19 karena beredarnya berita HOAX tentang vaksinasi Covid-19 yang menyebabkan masyarakat takut dan ragu untuk dilakukan vaksinasi karena masyarakat beranggapan bahwa vaksinasi Covid-19 itu berbahaya dan dapat menimbulkan kematian. Namun masyarakat Indonesia harus sadar bahwa vaksin Covid-19 sangat penting.

The whole world fights against the Corona Virus Disease which is also known as “COVID-19”. This new virus is an infectious disease which spreads through the droplets from the person infected with this virus coughs or sneezes, thus a person has to protect himself by wearing face mask, wash the hands frequently and maintain social distancing to stop the spread of this newly discovered virus corona virus. The infection is continuously increasing at a very fast pace and thus different countries according to the number of cases imposed complete lockdown where only emergency services like medical, and essentials like food, vegetables and milk was made available. The disease has been declared as the Pandemic by the world health organization due to the spread of the disease in the whole world. Thus, digital transformation was inevitable to adopted by all for the continual existence and control the spread of the disease of business and academic activities. This article is a research study on digital transformation which is inevitable in post Covid era which is the new normal in India.

Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) began with a report on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan City of China about pneumonia cluster cases that have not yet been identified. The number of COVID-19 cases has increased and has spread to almost all. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that COVID-19 is an international health problem and established as a pandemic. COVID-19 case in Indonesia was first reported on March 2, 2020, and spread in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Treatment and vaccination for the prevention of COVID-19 are still in the process of research. So far preventive measures such as maintaining distance, wearing masks, improving the immune system, and hand hygiene are expected to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19. The COVID-19 socialization aims to provide adequate information to the public about the dangers and efforts to prevent COVID-19 that can be carried out by individuals and the community. The socialization was held in Koja Village, North Jakarta on March 8, 2020. The activity was carried out by the Regional Management of Keluarga Alumni Universitas Gadjah Mada (KAGAMA) DKI Jakarta in collaboration with the Health Sub-Department and the Koja District Government, North Jakarta. The main part of the activity is the delivery of COVID-19 material followed by interactive discussions between participants and resource persons. Individual and community prevention efforts are very important in reducing the number of cases and breaking the chain of transmission so that cases do not increase.

Abstract Background: The COVID 2019 (Corona Virus Disease) has been currently going pandemic as per WHO (World Health Organisation) situation reports. The major differentiating point in this virus is the presence of a unique furin cleavage site. Our insilico study points out to the effectiveness of a potent plant origin furin inhibitor. We exploited the aspect of the cleavage machinery of furin which is critical and indispensible for the entry of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome –Corona Virus 2) in human cells and subsequent massive contagion. Most of the drugs are presently targeting ACEII (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2) receptor. But these options have injurious effects in diabetics and cardiac patients. Repurposing of old drugs are the current undergoing therapeutic measures as per the EUA (Emergency Usage Administration) of Food and Drug Administration. These aspects could be avoided if we develop a better and safer strategized drug . Methods In silico analysis of plant based protein analogs to inhibit furin protein. Results Significant interactions of proposed analogs of protease inhibitor of plant origin against furin protein. Furin inhibitors would be incredible drug targets against cancers, MERS CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and most urgently SARS- CoV-2. Conclusion We report the first of its kind of furin inhibitor and believe that this major finding would fast track arenas for drug trials.

A cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown aetiology was reported from Wuhan, Hubei province of China on 31st December, 2019. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on 30th January, 2020. Thereafter, it has spread through China and reached the level of a pandemic expanding to 210 countries with 77.9M confirmed cases and 1.71M deaths as per Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) situation report issued by WHO based on data received upto 23rdDecember, 2020. A number of questions remain unanswered regarding pathogen-associated variables for amplification dynamics, host environment and agent interaction. This short communication makes an effort to compile the information gathered from published articles of renowned journals and newsletters to explore the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19. Hereby in this article, authors have tried to assemble the epidemiological lacunae created by the novel characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2) which presently pose a rather puzzling transmission dynamics of COVID-19 that still remain unanswered.

World is completely shut for more than a month due to the pandemic health situation of COVID19. World Health Organisation (WHO) declared February 2020 Corona Virus is causing pandemic health condition in the globe. SARS-CoV2 initiating from China, novel Corona moved towards east and then crossed to west showing its tyrannical face in each country. Almost eighty percent of the nation in this globe had been deadly affected and locked down was declared almost ninety percent of the nations by the novel corona. Human beings are striving hard to overcome the strange corona virus. The curative medicines have not produced till now the only way is to preventive measures. India has been locked down for more than three month due to the corona virus. The study aims in understanding the extent of awareness on SARS-CoV-2 among Indian residents through a cross sectional survey. The study instruments is self developed KAP scale consists of 12 statements related to the Corona virus clinical and preventive characteristics and the practice pattern of COVID19. The study covers about 9121 samples residing in India. The study shows that about sixty percent of the participants are highly aware about SARS-CoV-2. The knowledge, attitude and awareness about the spread of the corona virus have less impact on practicing preventive measures against SARS-CoV-2
