Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed enormous health
risks worldwide. In the 21st century, a novel virus which is called SARS-CoV-2; was
the main cause for the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. This virus is transmitted from
person to person through direct and indirect transmission. Some infected people develop serious symptoms, but others do not show any symptoms. Infected people with
no visible symptoms could also transmit the viruses. Literature studies about the
COVID-19 pandemic (starts from Dec 2020 until June 2021) were conducted
through PubMed, Embase, Medline and Google Scholar. In this study, we explored
the COVID-19's impact on non-communicable diseases and young children. Scientists are currently testing several drugs to eradicate the COVID-19 outbreak. Pfizer,
AstraZeneca, Sinovac and Moderna, vaccine doses administrated successfully
throughout the world. Government agencies also implemented certain rules and regulations to protect their citizens from coronavirus. Moreover, World Health Organization (WHO) also helps by providing many valuable information and precautions
to countries. Hence, this study might provide some information on how to deal with
the virus to curb the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2.
