Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) contains a virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which can severely harm the body [1]. Its chain of infection begins with droplets from an infected person's cough, sneeze, or breath that can be found in the air or on any surface you contact 1].

When infected, the virus moves down your respiratory tract; it hijacks the healthy cells by attaching its spiky surface proteins to the receptors on healthy cells, especially those in your lungs. Since the coronaviruses store their genetic material in RNA ribonucleic acid), it will replicate this and the virus will soon spread in the body [2]. Symptoms of this disease can range from mild to severe and may appear 2-14 days after someone is exposed to the virus: this includes fever, cough, tiredness, difficulty breathing, chest pain, etc.

Preventative measures involve washing your hands regularly with soap and water or alcohol, maintaining social distance of at least 1 meter, avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth, and staying home if you feel unwell.

Currently, COVID-19 is rapidly spreading around the world and has become a major global threat, affecting more than 185 millions people with over 4 million deaths worldwide [3]. Achieving herd immunity through high vaccination coverage rates in the population is required to stop this pandemic from causing further damage.
