Abstract
Corona viruses, a broad group of viruses that have an ability to infect a wide range of animals, or people. It can lead to mild to severe respiratory illnesses. In humans it caused fatal respiratory illness in 2002 and 2012, making it a new concern for public health in the 21st century. Its origin was in Wuhan from where it is rapidly spreading to the rest of the world. In terms of both the number of sick people and the geographic span of epidemic locations, it has crossed the counts of SARS and MERS. The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has caused a significant threat to worldwide public life.
