“…COVID-19 patients show symptoms that vary from mild forms to clinical conditions characterized by fever, pneumonia and respiratory distress syndrome [6][7][8]. Moreover, the virus is easily transmitted, and infection can occur by direct contact with the infected person and indirect contact with surfaces in the immediate environment [8][9][10].…”

The increase in severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 has invariably affected medical professionals in their training, academic and professional development. The present study was an interventional descriptive study aimed at reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and enabling physical attendance to the practical session for applied medical students by establishing and implementing a safety strategy. The adopted safety strategy has eight conditions and 50 requirements. Compliance with the safety strategy along with the serological diagnosis of COVID-19 was used as a key performance indicator for assessing the efficiency of the safety strategy. A total of 197 students were enrolled at the beginning of the study. The overall results showed that 78.1% of the respondents strictly followed the protocol, 14.5% of the individuals partially responded to the protocol and 7.4% of the individuals did not respond to the protocol. Twenty-two (12.6%) out of the 175 participants who completed the study had positive COVID-19 during the study period, whereas the remaining 153 participants (87.4%) appeared to be healthy. The serological results showed that 68 (38.9%) and 66 (37.7%) individuals of the study population had positive IgM+IgA and IgG of COVID-19, respectively; the majority of the participants who developed antibodies did not show symptoms and appeared to be healthy during the study. The physical distancing condition was the only condition that displayed a significant relationship with seropositive IgM+IgA. The compiling of standardized protocols along with serological diagnoses can be an effective tool in measuring the effectiveness of safety protocol and reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19.

“…Many developing countries already coping with humanitarian disasters have become vulnerable to the consequences of COVID-19 [4]. India, a developing country already dealing with many public health challenges, is a member of this group [5][6][7], recorded as having the second highest COVID-19 cases following the USA [8]. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the health of both genders.…”

Background: The COVID-19 epidemic has taken a considerable toll worldwide and has harmed both male and female health. Statistics revealed that fewer females were directly affected than males; however, the latter may be more affected by the consequences. Some studies at the global level have suggested gender as the key determining factor in COVID-19, but there is a lack of such studies in developing countries like India. In light of the situation, this study has analyzed the gender-wise pattern of symptoms, morbidity, multimorbidity, and mortality due to COVID-19 in Karnataka, India. Methods: We used patient-level raw data from COVID19-India application programming interface (API) from 09th March to 05th September 2020. We have used descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage distribution, and latent class analysis (LCA) to carry out this analysis. Findings: The study comprised 78,983 COVID-19 patients who were 63.6% males and 36.4 % females. Out of the total patients, 10.1% were reported as deceased, of which 68.4% were males and 31.6% were females. We found that all three symptoms (cough, breathlessness, and fever) were higher among males than females in the case of disease symptoms. Males had a higher risk of severe infection and mortality in general. In comparison, females suffered from comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension were at higher risk of mortality due to COVID-19 than their male counterparts. The latent class analysis also revealed that females had a more significant proportion of two or more symptoms, whereas males had more than two comorbidities. Interpretation: Given the differences in lethality between the two genders, we believe that our study has found the root causes of the gender differentials in the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, our research mapped gender differences in various aspects of COVID-19, which will help policymakers find suitable interventions to reduce the burden.

COVID-19 has come as a sharp caution to humankind to introspect and rectify. With values on the decline and humans seeming to have lost empathy, one feels a need to recharge and reconnect. The Indian way of living has many scientific principles natural in it to fight infectious diseases. We follow the Sanatan Sanskriti thoughts traditionally, sometimes not even grasping the rationale behind it. This article tries to explore the correlation between the preventive measures and some of our traditional Sanatan practices. There is a need to promote our cultural practices and avoid running behind the ultra-modern ways of living so that the world learns to combat and live with the COVID 19.
