“…Three pandemics occurred in the previous century: "Spanish influenza" in 1918, "Asian influenza" in 1957, and "Hong Kong influenza" in 1968 [14]. Over the last decades the emergence of SARS, H1N1, Influenza A, and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) illustrates the powerful threat of cross-species transmission events that have led to novel human disease with consequential global impact [15]. Coronaviruses are important human and animal pathogens.…”

Background: People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing coronavirus disease complications (COVID-19) with more mortality rate. Breathing exercises is good for clearing the mucus from lungs and improves chest expansion while circulatory exercises enhance cardiopulmonary/vascular systems. Aim: This study aims to suggest exercise program for prevention, decrease morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients and patients with other respiratory co-morbidities. Conclusion: Regular simple exercises include respiratory and circulatory exercises may have a great effect on improving lung function and immunity in addition to relieving psychological stress thus can help in treatment of high risk people from COVID-19.

“…In fact, after a few weeks of confirmed cases in Wuhan, Covid19 was not only spread into China but crossed the border (212 countries) and the number of people affected increased and claimed many victims. Indeed, on 11 February 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID19 a pandemic (Djalante et al, 2020;Landry et al, 2020;Lee & Morling, 2020;Rowan & Laffey, 2020;Saurabh et al, 2020;Wahedi et al, 2020;World Health Organization, 2020). While writing this paper, the number of confirmed cases has reached 3, 641,205 including 251,943 deaths, and1,192,948 recovred (Worldometers, 2020) (Last updated: May 04, 2020, 23:45 GMT).…”

“…Sudden loss of smell, without nasal obstruction and total disappearance of taste, are also symptoms that have been observed in patients. In people developing more severe forms, respiratory difficulties are found, which can lead to hospitalization in intensive care and death (Landry et al, 2020;Sharifi-Razavi et al, 2020;Simcock et al, 2020;World Health Organization, 2020).…”

“…It is therefore considered that close contact with a sick person is necessary to transmit the disease: the same place of residence, direct contact within one meter when talking, coughing, sneezing, or in the absence of protective measures. One of the other preferred vectors of virus transmission is in contact with unwashed hands soiled with droplets (Anwarul et al, 2020;Elfiky, 2020a;Enmozhi et al, 2020;Landry et al, 2020;Li, Guan, et al, 2020;Liu, Han, et al, 2020;Lu et al, 2020;Rowan & Laffey, 2020;Yang et al, 2020).…”

Coronavirus is still the leading cause of death worldwide. There are a set number of COVID-19 test units accessible in emergency clinics because of the expanding cases daily. Therefore, it is important to implement an automatic detection and classification system as a speedy elective finding choice to forestall COVID-19 spreading among individuals. Medical images analysis is one of the most promising research areas, it provides facilities for diagnosis and making decisions of a number of diseases such as Coronavirus. This paper conducts a comparative study of the use of the recent deep learning models (VGG16, VGG19, DenseNet201, Inception_ResNet_V2, Inception_V3, Resnet50, and MobileNet_V2) to deal with detection and classification of coronavirus pneumonia. The experiments were conducted using chest X-ray & CT dataset of 6087 images (2780 images of bacterial pneumonia, 1493 of coronavirus, 231 of Covid19, and 1583 normal) and confusion matrices are used to evaluate model performances. Results found out that the use of inception_Resnet_V2 and Densnet201 provide better results compared to other models used in this work (92.18% accuracy for Inception-ResNetV2 and 88.09% accuracy for Densnet201).

“…Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) [1]. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) elevated the status of novel coronavirus (COVID19) to a pandemic [2]. SARS CoV-2 was discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China [3].…”

Coronavirus infections have emerged as epidemic and pandemic threats throughout the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread across 203 countries and territories in all 5 major continents. World Health Organization (WHO) declared this as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020. Subsequently, on February 11, 2020, a new name was given to this disease i.e. COVID-19 by an expert group from WHO. As of 3:37 pm CEST, 14 August 2020, there have been 20,730,456 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 751,154 deaths, reported to WHO. It possibly originated from a small animal market in Wuhan, China. A cluster of patients was admitted with unusual pneumonia not responding to treatment in various hospitals. Epidemiological, genomic analysis and correlation with other coronaviruses led to the isolation of new coronavirus, closely resembling the bat coronaviruses, from such patients in Wuhan. They were identified as the SARS-CoV-2. This virus infection presents an influenza-like illness in the affected people. Fever, cough, respiratory distress with fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms seen in adults. The transmissibility of SARS-CoV-1 was less as compared to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and it was well controlled with good public health efforts. The present COVID-19 epidemic is still in the acceleration phase of 3 and 4 in various countries. Without any effective antiviral agents available at present, the need of the hour is early case detection, isolation of cases, use of good preventive care measures by the household contacts and in the hospital setup. Here, we have placed the symptoms and treatment schemes for the COVID-19 from the practice of different research organizations of the World including WHO.
