Abstract

A pandemic such as COVID-19, like any other, is  characterised beyond demographic range because it is a  worldwide phenomenon. This means that people of any creed are vulnerable to coronavirus, and that each of us  needs to take our roles seriously in the fight against the virus.  More to this, this means that the management of the virus  has complexity, as shown by recent scientific advances with  the discovery of the new variant. This implies that with the  testing of new vaccines, with categories approved by the  World Health Organisation, one needs to be mindful of their  interaction with susceptible patients, and that in order to  succumb to this pandemic, we must be aware of hygienic  practices, and their importance henceforth. This paper is a  news report on the 2019 coronavirus pandemic.
