Abstract

The viral diseases are a malign condition in the world from 2001 to 2020. The human novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was an initial identification in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The major objective is to critically review the present situation of coronavirus in the world. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2001, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 and the COVID-19 in 2019 had serious effects in human life in China, Saudi Arabia, and China, respectively. The COVID-19 is a highly mutated virus for the human population in 2020. This review study reveals the host of the virus, history, characteristics, preventive measure, treatment, effects and the epidemic situation in the world.
