Main
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1]. Emerging in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China, in December 2019, this virus quickly spread to other countries. The researchers are trying to develop vaccines and therapeutic measures at an unprecedented level. The efforts to create awareness about the virus has borne fruits, and almost everyone, children to elderly alike, talk about this virus and take measures to limit its spread. On the other hand, this virus has created fear in the minds of the patients, family members, healthcare workers and the general public.
