Abstract
Corona viral infection, Covid-19 is undoubtedly one of
the mega events of this century. We don’t know what
else lies ahead in this century. Who knew in the
beginning of 2020 that we were heading towards this
sudden catastrophe that will take away so many lives!
Covid-19 is a member of the corona family of Zoonotic
viruses which are highly contagious. In the recent past
they were first highlighted in Saudi Arabia in 2012
where these viruses were transmitted from camel to
man resulting in serious pulmonary disease known as
‘Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)’. It has
since then spread to several other countries, including
the United States. Most people infected with
MERS-CoV developed severe respiratory illness, fever,
cough, and shortness of breath; many died.
