“…During the SARS outbreaks, there were 8,096 infections worldwide (3 in Korea) and 774 deaths (0 in Korea). During the MERS outbreak, there were 1,167 infections worldwide (186 in Korea) and 479 deaths (38 in Korea) [17]. Currently, more than 93 million people worldwide have been infected with COVID-19 and more than 2 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19.…”

COVID-19 is an ongoing worldwide infectious disease pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate post-traumatic stress and related factors among hospital nurses during the COVID-19 outbreak. The subjects of this study were 300 nurses who worked in three general hospitals that operated National Designated Isolation Unit (NDIU) wards during the COVID-19 outbreak. Self-reporting questionnaires were used to collect data on post-traumatic stress, general characteristics, and work-related information. The average post-traumatic stress score was 20.68 ± 19.5 points and 36.7% of participants were at high risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The odds ratio (OR) for PTSD was higher for nurses who worked in the NDIU ward (OR = 16.31, 95% CI = 3.79-70.32), who responded that nurse staffing was poor (OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 1.01-9.10), and who responded that they experienced COVID-19 symptoms (OR = 3.83, 95% CI = 1.89-7.75). Total 36.7% of nurses were at risk of PTSD and the factors related to PTSD were the work department, nurse staffing, and experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. These results could be used to manage PTSD and provide psychological support of nurses during infectious disease epidemics, such as COVID-19.

“…The source of SARS-CoV was bat which transferred this virus to human via civet cat as an intermediate host. 12 The bats were also reported to be the possible origin of MERS-CoV, which is also a zoonotic virus. 13 However, MERS-CoV was reported in the patients, having frequent contact with the camels in the Middle East.…”

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoViD-19) is the third type of coronavirus disease after severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) that appears in human population from the past two decades. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread in the human population and compelled global public health institutions on high alert. Due to genetic similarity of this novel coronavirus 2019 with bat virus its emergence from bat to humans is possible. The virus survive in the droplets of coughing and sneezing and spread around the large areas through infected person resulting in its rapid spread among people. Clinical symptoms of CoViD-19 include fever, dry cough, dyspnea, loose stool, nausea and vomiting. The present review discuss the origin of CoViD-19, its rapid spread, mortality rate and recoveries ratio around the world. Since its origin from Wuhan, the CoViD-19 spread very rapidly all across the countries, on April 17, 2020 this disease has affected 210 countries of the globe. The data obtained showed over 2.4 million confirmed cases of CoViD-19. Higher mortality rate was found in Algeria and Belgium as 15% and 13.95%, respectively. Lower mortality rate was found in Qatar 0.17% and Singapore 0.2%. Recovery versus deceased ratio showed that recovery was 68, 59 and 35 times higher than the death in Singapore, Qatar and Thailand respectively. It is concluded that 2019-novel corona virus is a zoonotic pathogen similar to MERS and SARS. Therefore, a barrier should be maintained between and across the human, household and wild animals to avoid such pandemics. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.COVID19-S4.2660 How to cite this:Noor AU, Maqbool F, Bhatti ZA, Khan AU.

“…As a consequence, mucus accumulated in airways obstructs the respiratory tract lumen and limits airflow. Mucus accumulation can also cause by ciliary dysfunction, which has been observed in many diseases, including primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and influenza virus infection (Tilley et al, 2015;Bustamante-Marin and Ostrowski, 2017;Fong, 2017;Chen et al, 2019).…”
