Abstract:
The world was brought to a standstill by the rapid spread
of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2), responsible for COVID-19. Initially
recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, it was
announced to be a pandemic. It is known to spread from
person to person via respiratory droplets such as saliva,
cough and sneeze. The infection can be established by the
real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
(rRT-PCR) test on the mucosal swabs and by testing the IgG
and IgM on the blood samples. Patients experiencing severe
symptoms are advised to undergo computed tomography
(CT) scans to rule out extensive lung involvement
