Theme 1: Understanding COVID-19 pandemic
Feng and et.al. (2020), viewed that many of the things relating to Novel coronavirus is
spreading quickly by way of social media and internet sources. COVID-19 is stated as the micro-
organism which disinfect an epithelial cells in lungs and the throat of the person. SARS- CoV-2
binds towards ACE2 receptors on the cells of human, that are mostly recovered in lungs &
throats. Novel coronavirus on skin of an individual, deficient ACE2 expression which would be
harmless. The corona virus enters through nose, mouth & eyes. Moreover, out hands are counted
as the major instrument which takes the infective agent in reaching our eyes, nose and mouth.
Therefore, it is recommended to wash hands with the cleanser water around for 20 seconds as it
assist in preventing from causing infection. Dose of 700000 PFU is required for infecting
Macaque where PFU is seen as measure of the sample infectivity. Although the animal did not
shown any of the medical symptoms, droplets from nasal & saliva has viral load. The Humans
would require high dose in getting contaminated where the animal report on hereditary modified
mice with the ACE2 sensory receptor showed which can be contaminative with the SARS with
just 240 PFU. Comparing to this, it needs 70000 PFU of the coronavirus in getting septic. The
time period for which an individual can transfer infection to other person is not been known
precisely, but indicated up-to 14 days. Artificially reducing contagious period is the critical
method of declining an overall transmission. Isolation, Hospitalization, quarantine and lock-

with virus could infect even before symptoms appears. Most of the carrier does not even show
the signs by covering nose and the mouth when an individual sneeze or cough would help in
