Abstract:

According to World Health Organization, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The virus COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. The droplets are too heavy to hang in the air and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. A person gets infected by touching a contaminated surface and then his eyes, nose, or mouth (WHO,2020). COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization. The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, tiredness. The fewer common symptoms are aches and pains, sore throat, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, headache and loss of taste or smell, a rash on the skin, or discoloration of fingers or toes. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. 80% will recover from the disease without needing special treatment (WHO,2020). Around one in every five people who are infected with COVID-19 develop difficulty in breathing and require hospital care. People aged over 60 years and people who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, or hypertension are among those who are at greater risk. (WHO,2020).
