A comprehensive review of COVID-19 in India: A frequent catch of the information.

Abstract:

:The arrival of novel health crisis by a novel member of coronavirus group named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by World Health Organization took the whole world in global emergency by affecting 206 countries. The virus infects 206 countries with 86,839,226 confirmed cases, 61,565,949 recoveries, and 1,876,243 deaths as on January 6, 2021. Evidence pointed out the fact that virus might first originated in bats in China and it took only 2 months to spread over almost every country of the world. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to beta coronavirus and is enveloped, positive sense, and single-stranded RNA virus. The treatment would be difficult as SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus and thus the mutation rate is higher in comparison with the DNA viruses. The virus infection also leads to generation of effective protective immune response of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and so on that may help in virus elimination. The speed of the global spread of the current pandemic is of major concern and it has created a significant threat to economic and human health across the world. In India, the infection spreads with an infection and fatality rates of the disease are 1.7% and 2.8%, respectively. By this review, we want to emphasize the actual situation and major factors associated with COVID-19 pandemic, its significance, destructions, important findings, treatments, and preventive measures taken by all nations to provide better cure without having much loss.
