ABSTRACT

Corona virus causes influenza, vomiting, sneezing, respiratory disease and coughing while diarrhea and upper respiratory diseases are found in animals. The corona virus was transmitted by airborne droplets to humans or primates. Corona virus reaches the human cell through an exo-peptidase receptor with membrane ACE-2. WHO and ECDC also recommended the avoidance of public spaces and close interaction with contagious individuals and pets. Firstly, on 7 January 2020, Corona virus (2019-nCoV) was isolated from the Chinese Wuhan market.
