Abstract

COVID-19 has been reported as an ongoing global epidemic from Wuhan, China,
since it first emerged in December 2019. Coronavirus disease, severe acute

transmitted from animals to humans and from humans to humans. The main way
COVID-19 spreads is droplets released by an infected person when they sneeze or
cough. This literature provides an overview of incidence, causes, symptoms, and
complications. Lack of personal protective equipment, heavy work, knowledge of
and access to infection prevention, lack of training of health workers, lack of
knowledge of infection and universal standard safety precautions, unmanageable
chronic respiratory illness, and COVID Implementation and Practice-Related
Factors-19 Prevention.
