COVID-19 – Pandemic remonstrance
Novel coronaviruses have emerged as the deadliest pandemic threat throughout the world since its outbreak during December 2019. This a fact that Novel coronavirus is a viral disease that has been called to have the widest range of replication in its positive-strand resulting in the rapid production of new progeny viral cells inside the living host cells. And it has also been noted that COVID-19 has a high mutation rate (change in structure) which leads to a barrier for analysis and therapeutic regimens (American Society for Microbiology, 2020). Because of the high rate of mutation, it has been difficult to understand the genomic structure or organization of the virus.
The structure of Novel coronavirus is not only the main factor that gives a massive challenge to research, but survival in various environmental conditions and its ability to adapt also makes it impossible to find out the mode of survival. All the countries to continue to make efforts to diminish the human connection with facilitating nation as well as many steps have been started to ensure that the safety of the people such as social distancing & self-quarantine (Balachandar et al., 2020). And it is also has been reported that Asian countries are more susceptible to acquire this Novel coronavirus infection when compared to the other population. Some instructions are the protective measures given by WHO.
