Abstract

Initially, the novel Corona Virus (nCoV-19) was reported in Wuhan, China during December
2019, and later people with nCoV-19 were identified in different parts of the world. Infected
people had shown symptoms resembling pneumonia, but about 50% of patients were
asymptomatic. Thus, we aimed this study to examine the data from studies on nCoV-19. We
have designed the project with to review the literature, search relevant material and
databases. The sources of data included bioRxiv, medRxiv, Google Scholar, Embase,
PsychINFO, WanFang Data and PubMed. The search terms were novel Corona Virus, and
nCoV-19 structure. We have identified 22 studies that had reported and confirmed over 2000
cases of nCoV-19 by January 26, 2020. The studies found that the virus was transmitted
through respiratory droplets. The virus has two serotypes, OC43 and 229E. Thus, no
specific curative therapy is available for CoVid-19. However, certain precautionary measures
may potentially reduce the transmission, including washing hands, using sanitizers
frequently, avoiding public gatherings, and quarantining or isolating patients. This virus has
spread globally and immunocompromised individuals, and especially older individuals, are at
significant risk. Community and healthcare professionals have a positive role to play in
controlling the spread of the disease.
