A Brief View Of Coronavirus<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Nowadays the whole world is suffering from a bad time because of coronavirus. The economy of a country falls, shopping center, trading center, parks, shops everything is close. People are afraid and keep themselves at home. Hospitals are filled and doctors are trying to save the life of their patients. Some are recovering and some are dying. People are keeping social distance and avoiding gatherings. In short, the condition of the whole world becomes worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this condition is due to the outbreak of an infectious virus which has inhaled many precious lives. World health organization called this infectious virus \u201c  COVID-19 pandemic <\/span>\u201d on 11 March 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

A pandemic is an epidemic of disease that outspread globally affecting a large number of people in a short time. Viruses cause pandemic because when any new virus comes out people do not have enough immunity to fight against them and viruses easily transfer from one person to another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to initial studies on viruses that cause past pandemics revealed that all these viruses come from animals that affect humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Coronaviruses?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that infects the lungs and causes respiratory diseases ranging from mild to severe disease. They infect animals as well as humans. In animals, they cause upper respiratory tract infection and diarrhea, etc. while in humans they cause the common cold, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seldom such viruses cause zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic is a disease transmitted from animals to humans and gives rise to severe diseases such as <\/span>SARS<\/b>-CoV in 2002 – 2004, <\/span>MERS<\/b>-CoV in 2012, and <\/span>COVID-19 <\/b>or <\/span>SARS-Cov-2 <\/b>in 2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Structure Of A Coronavirus:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Coronaviruses are single-stranded RNA enveloped viruses that contain nucleocapsid. They are the largest among RNA viruses because of their size. Their size range from 27 to 34 kilobases approximately. Human coronavirus was first identified in the late 1960s in two human patients with a common cold. Since 2003 at least 5 new coronaviruses have been identified.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The name <\/span>coronavirus <\/b>is derived from the Latin word <\/span>corona<\/i><\/b> meaning <\/span>crown <\/b>or <\/span>halo<\/b> because its appearance looks like the crown or solar corona around virions with shorter spike-like proteins on its surface under an electron microscope.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

This spike-like protein penetrates into human cells and allows the viral membrane to fuse with cell membranes. In this way, the viral gene enters into the host cell. There they copied and produce more viruses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Coronavirus (COVID-19 Virus)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that has not been identified in humans. It was first discovered in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Firstly it has spread in China rapidly but now this has spread in the whole world fastly. This situation is evolving rapidly. At the very start, people were convinced that the COVID-19 virus is related to a bat virus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spreading Of COVID-19:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to recent information and research on the COVID-19 virus, it has been spread from person to person. This means that people have been infected with the virus from a specific area and then other people exposed to this disease through close contact with an infected person with the COVID-19 virus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spreading of this virus from person to person is through contaminated droplets spread by sneezing or coughing, or by contact with contaminated surfaces or hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The symptoms of this virus appear typically in 5 to 6 days but may also range from 2 to 14 days. Therefore, persons asked for self-isolate for 14 days. The spread of this disease is being monitored by the CDC (center for disease control), WHO (world health organization).<\/span><\/p>\n

How Long Does The COVID-19 Virus Last On The Surface?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the World health organization, it is not sure how long the COVID-19 virus may last on the surface. The studies suggest that it may last for a few hours to several days like other coronaviruses. Its appearance may vary with different conditions like temperature, humidity, type of surface, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study reveals that novel coronavirus spreads up to two to three days on plastics and stainless steel, up to 24 hours on cardboard, up to four hours on copper, and up to three hours in the air in the form of a droplet. But there are more chances of its falling more quickly. But their survival time may also be affected by different conditions such as exposure to sunlight, heat and cold, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Did This COVID-19 Spread To Humans?<\/span><\/h3>\n

It has first appeared in the city of Wuhan in China. The early hypothesis of this novel coronavirus is that it may spread from the seafood market in Wuhan. People who visited this seafood market develop viral pneumonia caused by this virus. But a study on 25 January 2020 reveals that the first patient infected with this virus on 1 December 2019 had no link with the seafood market. Health organizations are still investigating the cause of its spread.<\/span><\/p>\n
