A respiratory infection owing to a novel corona virus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. World health organization declared name for this novel corona virus as “COVID-19” is now a worldwide pandemic and has been recognized in more than 200 countries. Corona viruses are virus that is known to cause infection varying from the common cold to more critical diseases like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). It is known to transmit by respiratory droplets released when corona virus patient coughs, sneezes or talks and if another person inhales the droplets or touches these surfaces and further touches his face, eyes or mouth can get an infection. Currently there are no specific vaccines or medicines for Corona virus disease and treatment given based on symptoms. But many vaccines are under investigation.

Corona Viruses

Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). A novel corona virus (Co V) is a new strain of corona virus that has not been previously identified in humans. Corona viruses can be transmitted from person to person, usually after close contact with an infected patient. There is no specific treatment for disease caused by a novel corona virus. In this Hypothesis, the author proposes an alternative herbal inhaler, syrup, drug and a vaccine for curing Covid-19.

Corona viruses cause common cold, and infections caused by corona viruses are generally self-resolving. During the last 4 years, corona viruses have become the most important viruses worldwide because of the occurrence of several recent deaths caused by corona viruses in Saudi Arabia. Spread of the infection occurred worldwide; however, most cases of mortality have occurred in the Middle East. Owing to the predominance of outbreaks in the Middle Eastern countries, the virus was renamed a Middle East respiratory syndrome corona virus (MERS-CoV) by the Corona virus Study Group. The Center for Diseases Control and Prevention and World Health Organization maintain a website that is updated frequently with new cases of MERS-CoV infection. In this review, we describe the history and epidemiology of this novel virus. Studies of the genetics and molecular mechanisms of this virus are expected to facilitate the development of vaccines in the future.

: The virus is an infective specialist that regularly comprises a nucleic corrosive atom in a protein coat that is too little to even think about being seen by light microscopy and can multiplicate inside the living cells of a host. COVID is a gathering of infections that can cause disease, for instance, the essential basic cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Numerous individuals debased with the COVID-19 contamination will experience smooth coordination respiratory disease and recover without requiring the common treatment. More prepared people and those with concealed clinical issues like cardiovascular disorder, diabetes, diligent respiratory contamination will undoubtedly make certified illness. The COVID-19 disease spreads generally through dabs of spit or delivery from the nose when a debased individual hacks or sneezes, so it is critical that you in like manner practice respiratory conduct (for example, by hacking into a flexed elbow). In 2019, another contamination perceived in china specifically novel COVID disease 2019 (COVID-19) was found, and on the 11th of March 2020, COVID-19 was depicted as a pandemic sickness by the World Health Organization which is rapidly stretching out to 194 countries that incorporate Europe, North America, Asia, Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. The best way to deal with thwart and ruin transmission is to be instructed about the COVID-19 contamination, the illness it causes, and how it spreads. In this survey, we are endeavoring to focus on the drugs that are used for COVID19 and their segment of movement at present chose by different nations.

The outbreak of a pneumonia like disease was reported in China towards the end of 2019. It was later found that, a novel Corona Virus (nCoV) was the causative agent. In January 2020, China shared the genomic sequence of this virus, which was similar to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (SARS-CoV), and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (MERS-CoV). This virus was named as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the pneumonia caused by it was called as Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic owing to the uncontrolled spread and the threat caused by the virus. Thereafter, the rapid spread of COVID-19, keeps continuing to cause chaos and catastrophe to mankind. Though mortality ranges about 1-3%, with mild variations worldwide, the rate of infectivity is much higher than SARS-CoV. The understanding on the pathogenesis of this virus remains mysterious and unclear. As frontline warriors against the COVID-19 battle, Healthcare Professionals, are more susceptible to succumb to this disease. Dental healthcare professionals (DHCP), owing to a closer contact with patients, during dental operating procedures are at a higher risk of acquiring and spreading the infection due to increased aerosol production. This review, gives an insight about the structure, transmission characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and the possibility of spread through aerosol. It also highlights the precautions and safety measures that need to be followed within the dental operatory setting.

In last of 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention started monitoring the outbreak of a new corona virus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the respiratory illness now known as COVID-19. Authorities first identified the virus in Wuhan, China. More than 82542 case of Corona virus in China at 31 March 2020. Health authorities have identified many other people with COVID-19 around the world. On 31 March 2020, the virus spread more than 750890 People in the World. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a public health emergency relating to COVID-19. Since then, this strain has been diagnosed in several residents of world. The CDC have advised that it is likely to spread to more people. COVID-19 has affected at least 213 countries or territories or areas. The first people with COVID-19 had links to an animal and seafood market. This fact suggested that animals initially transmitted the virus to humans. However, people with a more recent diagnosis had no connections with or exposure to the market, confirming that humans can pass the virus to each other. Corona viruses will infect most people at some time during their lifetime. Corona viruses can mutate effectively, which makes them so contagious. Information on the virus is scarce at present. In the past, respiratory conditions that develop from corona viruses, such as SARS and MERS, have spread through close contacts. On 17 February 2020, the Director-General of the WHO presented at a media briefing the following updates on how often the symptoms of COVID-19.However, while some viruses are highly contagious, it is less clear how rapidly corona viruses will spread. Symptoms vary from person-to-person with COVID-19. It may produce few or no symptoms. However, it can also lead to severe illness and may be fatal. On 11 March 2020, WHO declared Novel Corona virus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak as a Pandemic. Keywords: WHO, ICMR, SARS-CoV-2, Bats, Wuhan City, Pneumonia, Respiratory Infection, Pandemic

ABSTRAKVirus Corona merupakan bagian dari keluarga virus yang menyebabkan penyakit mulai dari flu hingga penyakit yang lebih berat. World Health Organization (WHO) memberi nama virus ini Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) dan nama penyakitnya sebagai Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Infeksi SARS-CoV-2 pada manusia menimbulkan gejala gangguan pernapasan akut. Bukti saat ini mengindikasikan bahwa transmisi SARS-CoV-2 terjadi terutama dari orang ke orang melalui kontak langsung, tidak langsung, atau erat dengan orang yang terinfeksi melalui sekresi terinfeksi. Rekomendasi standar untuk mencegah penyebaran infeksi adalah melalui cuci tangan secara teratur, menerapkan etika batuk dan bersin, menghindari kontak secara langsung. Selain rekomendasi diatas, pemerintah juga mengajurkan untuk dapat menerapkan Slogan 4M untuk memutus mata rantai penyebaran COVID-19 yakni dengan Memakai Masker, Mencuci Tangan, Menjaga Jarak, Menghindari Kerumunan. Berdasarkan hasil observasi didapatkan bahwa pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai cara mencegah penyebaran COVID-19 masih rendah serta kurang disiplinnya masyarakat dalam menerapkan protokol kesehatan. Tujuan dari pengabdian masyarakat ini untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mengenai cara pencegahan penularan COVID-19 melalui penerapan protokol kesehatan 4M. Kegiatan dilakukan di Desa Pegayut Kabupaten Ogan Ilir pada Desember 2020 yang diikuti oleh 35 orang. Kegiatan diawali dengan persiapan, pembagian leaflet, penjelasan materi dengan metode ceramah tanya jawab, demonstrasi dan evaluasi. Hasil dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat desa mengenai cara pencegahan penularan COVID-19 melalui penerapan protokol kesehatan 4M. Luaran yang dicapai adalah peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai cara pencegahan penularan COVID-19 dan keterampilan memakai masker dan mencuci tangan dengan benar. Kata Kunci : covid-19; pencegahan; penularan; protokol kesehatan. ABSTRACT Coronaviruses are part of a family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the flu to more severe diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) named this virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the name of the disease Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans causes symptoms of acute respiratory distress. Current evidence indicates that SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs primarily from person to person through direct, indirect, or close contact with an infected person through infected secretions. Standard recommendations to prevent the spread of infection are through regular hand washing, practicing coughing and sneezing etiquette, avoiding direct contact. In addition to the suggestions above, the government also recommends implementing the 4M Slogan to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19, namely by wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance, and avoiding crowds. Based on the results of observations, it was found that public knowledge about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is still low and the community lacks discipline in implementing health protocols. This community service aims to increase knowledge and skills regarding how to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 through the application of the 4M health protocol. The activity was carried out in Pegayut Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, in December 2020, which was attended by 35 people. The training begins with preparation, distribution of leaflets, explanation of the material using the question and answers lecture method, demonstration, and evaluation. The results in this community service were an increase in the knowledge of the village community about how to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 through the application of the 4M health protocol. The output achieved was an increase in public knowledge about how to avoid the transmission of COVID-19 and skills to wear masks and wash hands properly. Keywords: covid-19: prevention; transmission; health protocol.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains an incurable, progressive pneumonia-like illness characterized by fever, dry cough, fatigue, and headache during its early stages. COVID-19 has ultimately resulted in mortality in at least 2 million people worldwide. Millions of people globally have already been affected by this disease, and the numbers are expected to increase, perhaps until an effective cure or vaccine is identified.Although Africa was initially purported by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be severely hit by the pandemic, Africa recorded the least number of cases during the first wave, with lowest rates of infections, compared to Asia, Europe, and the Americas. This statistic might be attributed to the low testing capacity, existing public health awareness and lessons learnt during Ebola epidemic. Nonetheless, the relatively low rate of infection should be an opportunity for Africa to be better prepared to overcome this and future epidemics.In this paper, the authors provide insights into the dynamics and transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) during the first wave of the pandemic; possible explanations into the relatively low rates of infection recorded in Africa; with recommendations for Africa to continue to fight Covid-19; and position itself to effectively manage future pandemics.

At the end of 2019 a novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing severe acute respiratory syndrome expanded globally from Wuhan, China. In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS-Cov-2 virus a global pandemic. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 can attack lung cells because there are many conserved receptor entries, namely Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2. The presence of this virus in host cells will initiate various protective responses leading to pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. This review aimed to provide an overview related to this Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management and future perspective.  We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase and Scopus databases for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus. Full texts were retrieved, analyzed and developed into an easy-to-understand review. Although only when the pandemic ends it will be possible to assess the full health, social and economic impact of this global disaster, this review represents a picture of the current state of the art. In particular, we focus on public health impact, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, diagnosis, case management, emergency response and preparedness. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) has formulated guidelines, advisories for social distancing protocol, diagnosis, management, do’s and don’ts and other reliable material.
