“…The virus has spherical or pleomorphic enveloped proteins surrounded by a fatty outer layer covered with a thin layer of crown like structure (spike protein) made of glycoprotein projections. It also associated with membrane glycoprotein, hemagglutinin-acetylesterase glycoprotein, and small envelope glycoprotein [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. The target spike glycoprotein has two importance functions (1) receptor binding domain (RBD), (2) cleavage site.…”

Introduction Nursing staff have faced various challenges during the global pandemic of COVID-19 such as nursing shortages. The great number of COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization placed heavy demands on healthcare staff to maintain patient safety and to work according to constantly changing guidelines to prevent the spread of infection. Objective The objective was to describe nurses’ experiences of caring for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 in the initial phase of the pandemic. Methods The study has a qualitative design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven nurses in primary care and hospital care during the initial stage of the pandemic. Qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach was used. Results The nurses expressed that the working routines changed very quickly at the onset of the pandemic. A triage system was implemented to care for patients with symptoms of COVID-19 to prevent transmission between patients. A major change was the constant use of personal protective equipment in patient care. The nurses also experienced a sense of inadequacy regarding the care of the patients and became emotionally affected and exhausted. Conclusion The nurses experienced that many patients worsened clinically, leading to exhausting and difficult nursing care situations. They also experienced increasing responsibility since new protective equipment and procedures needed to be quickly implemented according to frequently changing recommendations, causing the nurses to feel uncertain about how to maintain patient safety. Support from colleagues was crucial to cope throughout the initial stage of the pandemic.

This review paper seeks to understand the impact of infectious diseases on international business. A comprehensive literature review (CLR) is done using Google scholar and Saudi Digital Library (SDL). Research, review articles presented and published in conference proceedings, magazines, journals, books and etc., were all taken into consideration. In total 40 documents were considered from 2016 to 2020 which are mainly related to the scope as sample size to write this review paper. The sample explains the types of infectious diseases, health challenges, treatment and supportive care, impact on international businesses, economic challenges and disruption management, economic development of the country, effected regions and countries impacted due to infectious diseases, Mathematical Modeling usage in infectious diseases and technologies to overcome the problem. This CLR could be considered as a helpful resource for scholars and researchers who are seeking to understand the critical perspectives on international business and financial burden on country economy because of spreading of infectious diseases.
