bat coronavirus. This kind of virus is already detected in camels,
bats because of which it has spread almost every Middle East

between animals with persons as well as from infected person to
other person. One of the latest examples is spreading of
Coronavirus in Asian region started from China. This virus has
taken lives of more than thousand people in China and is
spreading rapidly on the global level. It has been explored that this
virus has the ability to live for almost eight days on door locks
