Abstract::
This review summarizes the outbreak of viruses causing the fatal disease which is highly pathogenic
and human to human transmittable and it first emerges in Wuhan, China and now this epidemic situation becomes
worldwide. A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus(SARS-CoV)-2
belongs to β-coronavirus genera which were originated in bats due to highly identical genome with bat coronavirus.
This review highlights the Indian Council of Medical Research, India study which determined the detection
of pathogenic coronavirus in two species of Indian bats. Indian Council of Medical Research, India has successfully
isolated the COVID-19 virus strain which was the first step towards diagnosis and the development of
vaccines in the country. The outbreaks of coronavirus received worldwide attention for overcoming the challenges
faced during this current pandemic as there is no clinically approved antiviral drug or vaccine available,
however, preventive measures and different treatments were taken to cope with this viral outbreak. In response
to this global outbreak, this review tries to explain the Virology, Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and discusses the
Diagnosis, treatment strategies of COVID-19. This review emphasizes the current update of knowledge about
COVID-19.
