COVID-19

 
The year 2020 was marked by a pandemic that affected the entire world. COVID-19 spread to almost every country across the globe. By May 06, 2020, more than 3 million people had been affected globally by the virus and there were 258,394 reported deaths . India reported 49,436 people infected and 1,695 deaths .

COVID-19 was a communicable disease caused by the coronavirus. People infected with the virus experienced respiratory illness. Covid-19 was closely related to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS ) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS ), which had caused havoc in several countries earlier. COVID-19 was different from SARS and MERS in that the scope of disease was wide. Around 80% of people had mild symptoms whereas there were also many infected people who showed no signs of the infection. This made it difficult to control the spread of the disease . By May 2020, the total number of people affected globally by COVID-19 was 4,943,000 and 6.5% of them were reported to have died . .
