ABSTRACT

At the end of 2019, there was a new public health crisis threatening the world with the emergence and spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which was originated at the sea food market of Hubei province in Wuhan, China. The virus was originated in bats and was transmitted by unknown intermediary animals in China. . In humans they're typically spread via airborne droplets of fluid produced by infected individuals. Some rare but notable strains, including SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19), and those responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), can cause death in humans. Currently all the countries are on the COVID19 alert and on the major lockdown. This review aims to establish the current knowledge on COVID-19 by highlighting about the coronavirus genomic organization along with its pathogenesis, mode of transmission, various diagnosis and treatment strategies, precautionary measures and the treatment and vaccines available. Keywords: Coronavirus (CoVs), Sever Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or COVID-19), Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
