“…Similarly, a review of aerosol transmission of Influenza A virus cast doubt on whether it is even possible for droplets from chest physiotherapy to transmit infections (24). In addition, in SARS, a disease that shared similar pathophysiology with COVID-19 (7,25), chest physiotherapy was later recommended (26). Furthermore, overall, the management of COVID-19 is as yet symptomatic, as scientists are still trying to understand its pathophysiology and the viral behavior (1,27).…”

The present global pandemic of COVID-19 has brought the whole world to a standstill, causing morbidity, death, and changes in personal roles. The more common causes of morbidity and death in these patients include pneumonia and respiratory failure, which cause the patients to require artificial ventilation and other techniques that can improve respiratory function. One of these techniques is chest physiotherapy, and this has been shown to improve gas exchange, reverse pathological progression, and reduce or avoid the need for artificial ventilation when it is provided very early in other respiratory conditions. For patients with COVID-19, there is limited evidence on its effect, especially in the acute stage and in patients on ventilators. In contrast, in patients after discharge, chest physiotherapy in the form of respiratory muscle training, cough exercise, diaphragmatic training, stretching exercise, and home exercise have resulted in improved FEV1 (L), FVC (L), FEV1/FVC%, diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO%), endurance, and quality of life, and a reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms. However, there are still controversies on whether chest physiotherapy can disperse aerosols and accelerate the rate of spread of the infection, especially since COVID-19 is highly contagious. While some authors believe it is possible, others believe the aerosol generated by chest physiotherapy is not within respirable range. Therefore, measures such as the use of surgical masks, tele-rehabilitation, and self-management tools can be used to limit cross-infection.

“…It was first time infected to a human in Southern Chinese province of Guangdong and then spread quickly to Hong Kong and followed to other countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Canada, USA and UK. 66,67 The causative agent of SARS CoV, caused unusual symptoms of respiratory infection and severe form of pneumonia, high fever, >38 degree centigrade/104 Fahrenheit, coughing, breathing difficulty, diarrhea (20% cases), malaise, myalgia and headache. 67 A report of total 8098 cases, from November, 1, 2002 to July, 31,2003 were stated by World Health Education.…”

“…67 The SARS CoV doesn't have tendency to survive in hot weather -higher the temperature, lesser the lifespan of the virus (not more than 4 hours outside the human body) but in stools of the infected person with the symptoms of diarrhea, it usually survive for around 4 days. 66,67 SARS had a larger impact on the health of public health care workers of local health care systems. They were infected during the epidemic and were needed more intensive care and hospital health care facilities.…”

The research activity regarding infectious diseases has been increased significantly in the past few years in India. The main cause of infectious disease is pathogenic microorganisms and the infection can spread from direct or indirect contact between individuals. Once the infection spread throughout the country or world, is classified as an epidemic or pandemic. India is not unfamiliar with pandemic and epidemics, as they occur throughout history. This review paper highlights the major epidemics and pandemic occur in India. More than 90 national and global papers were reviewed. The research papers were chosen from PubMed, Google scholar, science direct, research gate, and organization like WHO. This paper dealt with the impact of pandemic and epidemic on India’s economy, health sector and social power. The study concluded that there were around 10 epidemics and pandemics occur in India from the 18th century to the 21st century. The major impact on the social life and health sector has mainly affected in COVID-19, chikungunya, Plague in India.Meningococcal disease and dengue had a negative impact on health sector.Nipah Virus, plague, and COVID-19 had more impact on tourism. Whereas, economy was majorly affected in Plague, and COVID-19.
