COVID -19

Abstract

Corona is a single-stranded RNA virus that has been around since the late 1960s when it was first discovered. The Nidovirales order includes the Corona viridae family of viruses. The crown-shaped spikes on the virus structure's outer surface inspire the name Corona. The virus has affected chickens and pigs, but there hasn't been a significant human-to-human transmission. The virus's mode of communication and other related information are continually updated every few weeks, increasing uncertainty. A Chinese study suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant psychological impact on more than half of the participants. One more ongoing review from Denmark revealed mental prosperity as adversely impacted. According to the American Psychiatric Association's survey, nearly half of Americans were anxious. The chapter details the disease, its symptoms and measures taken.
