Abstract

The infection of coronavirus (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-COV2 that is a connective agent of a hypothetically lethal ailment. It is based on the huge number of infested personages presented to the marine animal market in Wuhan City, China. There is a speculation that this may be the zoonotic origin of COVID-19. Greater efforts have been made to reduce the spread of COVID-19 from person to person to control current practice. Particular care and efforts to prevent transmission of infection should be used in common settings including children, health care providers, and interested persons.
