Abstract

Background: COVID-19 appeared as a single case to a cluster of cases in Wuhan, China (Dec 2019), and with its continuous upsurge of case spread as global pandemic which has created enormous threat and tension across the global public health care field. This is an infectious disease of global health emergency and highest public health concern of 21st century due to its high-speed of spread. Method: This research focused article followed a secondary information, research and article search both published and unpublished to draw down, data, facts and grasp insights to the main theme which are described and narrated in this article. Result: The major findings, as shown in this article are the facts that, this disease caused high level of risk group mortality, high morbidity, health care services burden, panic anxiety, mental trauma, tension, social and economic insecurity. These are collectively surfaced by diverse range of social reaction and political pressure across the world. including socio economic and health status, population dynamics, health system and infrastructure, health behavioral pattern, nutrition, food habit, access to information and knowledge which made this viral disease more complex in its manifestation as COVID-19 syndrome and also become difficult to address. The case fatality rate distinctively varies with the population dynamics and the health system infrastructure of different countries. Conclusion: According to the Public health prevention practice and interventions, the common pictures of emerging characteristics and pattern of this viral disease, learning and sharing is vital to prevent this COVID-19 pandemic. However, the world communities are still eagerly waiting to see the result and outcome of the ongoing therapeutics and vaccine trial initiated in several countries to find a real world solution to this pandemic.
