Today the whole world community is facing an unprecedented pandemic of novel corona virus disease (COVID- 19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2). The disease has spread glob- ally with more than 20.3 million confirmed cases and 2, 22000 deaths in India only as of May 4, 2021. Despite worldwide efforts, the pandemic is continuing to spread, and no system of medicine has any evidence-based treatment for COVID-19 as yet. The dimensions of pandemic require an urgent harnessing of all knowledge sys- tems available globally. Drawing attention on the Ayurveda classics, contemporary scientific studies, and experi- ential knowledge on similar clinical settings, depending on the stage of infection among individuals, in a popula- tion, Ayurveda system of medicine requires immediate implementation. It will facilitate learning, generate evi- dence and shall be a way forward. Keywords: COVID-19, Pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, Ayurveda, Immunity

The corona virus disease, otherwise known as COVID-19, is an extremely communicable and pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has spread to almost all the countries in the world. The transmission of the virus is through touching of the nose, eyes, or mouth by a finger that has been contaminated through droplets on a surface when a carrier sneezes or coughs. Since the existing fingerprint devices are predominantly contact based, it implies that they can aid in the transmission of the virus. This paper discusses the application of fingerprint devices in notable places with high rate of COVID-19 infection as well as the threats to fingerprint technologies and the countermeasures. The need to change focus and orientation towards contactless biometric technologies as sure solution to the fear and animosity expressed towards contact-based fingerprint technology is also expatiated.

Introdução: a implementação de ações preventivas e de proteção foram preconizadas para reduzir o contágio Corona Vírus Disease-19 causado pelo vírus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2. Os idosos residentes em comunidades rurais demonstravam dificuldades em se adaptar às novas medidas. Objetivo: interpretar os significados culturais atribuídos à pandemia de idosos descendentes de ucranianos residentes em zona rural. Método: trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa descritiva sustentada pelos referenciais da antropologia cultural e conduzida pelo Consolidate criteria for reporting qualitative research. Participaram de entrevistas etnográficas nove idosos informantes chaves, por via Skype e chamadas de vídeo pelo whatsapp, no período de março a abril de 2020. As entrevistas foram analisadas segundo domínios culturais. Resultados: Emergiram três domínios: 1- “Providência divina que gerou mudanças” - os idosos atribuem à pandemia o desejo de Deus para gerar um aprendizado e mudança de vida; 2- “O cuidado que vem de Deus e do médico para consigo e com o outro”- eles revelam práticas cotidianas para evitar a contaminação, como fazer o que o médico diz, tomar coisas fortes como os antigos, acreditar em Deus, ficar longe das pessoas que não moram na mesma casa, não sair de casa e não receber visitas; e 3 - “Sentimentos desagradáveis que podem adoecer”- eles apontam como consequências sentimento de tristeza e solidão, dificuldades em aceitar as mudanças impostas, incerteza no futuro. Conclusão: os significados atribuídos à pandemia permearam a intensificação e preservação das crenças e práticas religiosas, e a proteção para a doença percorreu o saber médico e popular.

Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) began to spread to various parts of the world since December 2019, which was first discovered in Wuhan, China. Of course this has brought great disaster to 216 countries in the world, because no country is immune to this virus and the epidemic has spread to various continents and attacked many aspects of the world community. Distressing conditions like this require the state to play a stronger role by providing better service protection. In addition, conditions like this raise big questions about how countries in the world deal with this. In the midst of the COcVID-19 pandemic, many scientists are racing to quickly find an effective vaccine to fight this virus. An example of one that succeeded is the discovery of Sinovac or called CoronaVac, where this vaccine is the result of research from Sinovac Biotech Co. which is a biopharmaceutical company focused on research, development, manufacture and commercialization of vaccines, and the company is based in Beijing, China. Seeing the COVID-19 pandemic that is increasingly paying attention, especially in developing countries, many countries are pressing for the temporary waiver of COVID-19 vaccine patents during this crisis. The reason is none other than so that production can be accelerated so that it is expected to be able to handle the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course this raises a polemic between developed countries and developing countries where there are two different interests, one country protects its investors and the other one protects its people. From this we can see that COVID-19 leaves a lot of room for its own problems.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS COV 2) and its linked corona virus disease has troubled the entire world community led to a serious public health concerns. Despite the various efforts to stop the spread of this disease globally, the outbreak is still on the rise because of the community spread pattern of this disease. This is believed to have originated in bats pangolins initially later it got transmitted to humans. Once it comes in the human body , this corona virus remains abundantly present in nasopharyngeal and salivary secretions of affected patients. Its spreading nature is mainly through the respiratory droplet spread / aerosol infection. Dental professionals, including Orthodontists , Oral Surgeons , Periodontists, Endodontists and Prosthodontists are all at high risk, since they may encounter patients with suspected or confirmed SARS COV 2 infection will have to act accordingly not only to provide care but at the same time prevent nosocomial spread of infection. Thus, the aim of this article is to provide a brief detailing of the cause, sign symptoms and different routes of transmission of this infection. In addition specific recommendations for dental practice are suggested for patient screening, infection control strategies and patient management protocol .

The emerging Corona virus strain (severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)) harbors intricate in the development of corona virus infection (COVID-19)-induced pneumonia and subsequently ameliorates lung infection. Genome sequence and interventions reveal proximal resemblance of corona virus strain COVID-19 with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), transmittable to bats, suggesting similar primary hosts in the spread of infection. However, potential rapid human-to-human transmission has caused therapeutic challenges in treating a wide range of humans suffering from corona virus all over the world. However, up to now, no direct vaccines or antiviral drugs are available to treat COVID-19. Previously designed antiviral drugs and convalescent plasma are undergoing investigations as treatment for COVID-19 infected patients. Therapeutic challenges with regards to COVID-19 have prompted scientists to develop fruitful remedies to combat the pathogen. In this review, we address the role of current ongoing therapeutic strategies, , and complex mechanisms of adaptive immune system (B and T cells) to respond to viruses. Furthermore, we illustrate the current challenges in the treatment of COVID-19, managerial strategies, and ongoing and future perspectives.
