    INTRODUCTION
    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is defined as
    illness caused by a novel coronavirus now called severe
    acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2;
    formerly called 2019-nCoV), which was first identified
    amid an outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan
    City, Hubei Province, China.

    It was initially reported to the WHO on December 31,


    2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the
    COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. On
    March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a
    global pandemic, its first such designation since declaring
    H1N1 influenza a pandemic in 2009.
    TERMINOLOGIES

    ◻ VIRUSES:- an infective agent that typically consists of a


    nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be
    seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only
    within the living cells of a host.
    ◻ EPIDEMIC:- a widespread occurrence of an infectious
    disease in a community at a particular time.
    ◻ PANDEMIC:- Disease prevalent over a whole country or
    the world.
    EPIDEMIC DATE OF COVID-19

    ◻ A large number of studies so far are reports based on experiences


    in China. At the beginning of the outbreak, COVID-19 cases were
    mostly observed among elderly people .
    ◻ As the outbreak continued, the number of cases among people
    aged 65 years and older increased further, but also some increase
    among children (< 18 years) was observed.
    ◻ The number of male patients was higher initially, but no significant
    gender difference was observed as case number increased. The
    mean incubation period was 5.2 days.
    PATHOGENIOUS OF COVID 19
    PATHOGENIOUS OF COVID 19

    ◻ The basic reproduction


    number of coronavirus
    is 2 to 2.5..that means
    one infected person
    can infect other 2
    healthy indiviuals when
    other control measures
    are not taken
    STATE WISE CORONA VIRUS

    ◻ According to the WHO


    situation report (March 27,
    2020) update on
    COVID-19, there have been
    more than 500,000
    reported cases and 23000
    deaths worldwide and this
    number continues to increase.

    MODE OF TRANSMISSION
    PEOPLE AT HIGH RISK
    ◻ COVID-19 is a new disease and there is limited information regarding
    risk factors for severe disease. Based on currently available
    information and clinical expertise, older adults and people of any
    age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at
    higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
    ◻ Based on what we know now, those at high-risk for severe illness from
    COVID-19 are:
    ◻ People 65 years and older
    ◻ People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
    ◻ People of all ages with underlying medical conditions, particularly if
    not well controlled, including
    ◻ disease or moderate to severe asthma
