Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences

BACKGROUND The global pandemic of novel coronavirus disease is mainly caused by the infection of Coronavirus 'SARS-CoV-2'. It is infecting persons of all ethnicity, race and community. Corona viruses are enveloped RNA viruses which range from 60 to 140 nm in diameter with spike like projections on their top. Coronavirus is affecting 199 countries, territories and international transport systems. Covid-19 is a recent pandemic, which started in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and now it is affecting the whole world. WHO declared this outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 infection is transmitted by inhalation or contact with infected droplets or aerosols of infected persons, and the incubation period ranges from 5 to 14 days. Viral aerosols remain active for 3 hours in the air, 24 hours on cardboards, and 2 to 3 days on stainless steel and plastic. Symptoms are usually fever, cough, breathlessness, sore throat, malaise and fatigue. In some people, it may progress to pneumonia, multiple organ dysfunction, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. People with heart diseases, lung diseases, cancer, old age, diabetics, Immunosuppressed, and pregnant women are at higher risk for COVID-19 infection. To date, there are now more than 2,732,701 cases of COVID 19 globally with more than 191,150 deaths. In India, total cases are 23,502 with 722 deaths. First case of coronavirus was seen on 29 January 2020.

A Look at COVID-19 Global Health Situation, 1-Year Post Declaration of the Pandemic

Microbiology Insight, 2022

The new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). The impacts of COVID-19 have changed over the past year globally. There were 116 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in more than 220 countries, including 2.5 million deaths, as reported at the end of the first week of March 2021. Throughout this time, different variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged. In early March, the United States of America (USA) led in both confirmed cases and casualties, while India followed in the number of confirmed cases and Brazil in the number of deaths. Vaccines are available in the USA and worldwide to help combat COVID-19. The level of preparedness among multisectoral communities played a role in transmission rates; therefore, lessons learned from past outbreaks, alongside this pandemic, are crucial in establishing policies and regulations to reduce and/or prevent the spread. This narrative literature review provides an update on the global spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the current impact of the pandemic 1-year after the declaration, preparedness, and mitigation efforts since the outbreak.
