Abstract
Corona is a single-stranded RNA virus that has been around since the late
1960s when it was first discovered. The Nidovirales order includes the Corona viridae
family of viruses. The crown-shaped spikes on the virus structure's outer surface inspire
the name Corona. The virus has affected chickens and pigs, but there hasn't been a
significant human-to-human transmission. The virus's mode of communication and
other related information are continually updated every few weeks, increasing
uncertainty. A Chinese study suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant
psychological impact on more than half of the participants. One more ongoing review
from Denmark revealed mental prosperity as adversely impacted. According to the
American Psychiatric Association's survey, nearly half of Americans were anxious.
The chapter details the disease, its symptoms and measures taken.
