Edging towards pandemic levels, the novel coronavirus or the officially known Covid-19 has kept our blood running cold proving to be a deadly infection. Covid-19 has been causing havoc around the world as the virus has infected more than 80,000 people worldwide and the death toll has crossed 2000 deaths. As the virus originated in Wuhan, China, most of the deaths are in and around the epicenter in China.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause severe diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and also cause less severe illness such as the common cold.
