Abstract

Corona virus causes respiratory infection including pneumonia, cold, sneezing and coughing while in animal it causes diarrhea and upper respiratory diseases. Corona virus transmitted human to human or human to animal via airborne droplets. Corona virus enters in human cell through membrane ACE-2 exopeptidase receptor. WHO and ECDC advised to avoid public place and close contact to infected persons and pet animals. Firstly Corona virus (2019-nCoV) was isolated from Wuhan market China at 7 Jan. 2020.
