The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two. Since its emergence in Asia late last year, the virus has spread to every continent except Antarctica. Cases are rising daily in Africa the Americas, and Europe. Countries are racing to slow the spread of the virus by testing and treating patients, carrying out contact tracing, limiting travel, quarantining citizens, and cancelling large gatherings such as sporting events, concerts, and schools. The pandemic is moving like a wave—one that may yet crash on those least able to copeTill date(04/11/2020), the coronavirus disease has spread to 210 countries with over 1.7 million cases and over 106,000 deaths worldwide. There is no vaccine and no definite treatment. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. So prevention is better than cure [1].
