Abstract

COVID-19 is a global pandemic and life threatening virus that mainly influences the respiratory tract of mammals, consisting humans being. It was 1st isolated in 1937 from an infectious bronchitis virus in birds. Many years ago, scientists have investigated that corona virus can infect mice, horses, dogs, pigs, rats, cats, cattle and turkeys. This zoonotic virus was first identified from Wuhan City, China and presently increasing very rapidly. The world has confirmed 141,057,106 cases, which includes 3,015,043 deaths and 793,484,083 vaccine doses administered as per the WHO till 20th April, 2021. Hence the aim of this paper is to provide a detailed review of COVID-19 including their history, origin, characteristics, symptoms and impacts along with preventive measures to be taken to restrict the outbreak of this evil virus of on human life.
