Corona viruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases
in mammals and birds. In humans, corona viruses cause respiratory tract
infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some
cases of the common cold , while more lethal varieties can
cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. There are yet to
be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human corona virus
infections. But everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of
respiratory viruses will work with this novel corona virus. At the
beginning of the outbreak, World Health Organization (WHO) supported
access to COVID-19 in-house RT- PCR protocols. The latest areas of
sustained community spread include China, South Korea, Japan, Iran,
and Italy, Spain, France, UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Australia, India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. in about 185 all over countries in world.
During this Pandemic situation many states in India have invoked
various provisions of the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 to control
communicable diseases. Now many country Hydroxychloroquine
(Plaquenil) and its sister drug chloroquine (Aralen) are under
investigation for treatment of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease.
