Among those, Novel Coronavirus(nCoV) has been identified as most dangerous and the vaccine yet not invented by the scientists.* *More than 114000 Coronavirus cases have been identified globally till date. And more than 4000 were already expired. So, this is an alarming situation.* **The sources of Coronavirus:** *This virus is mainly found in animals and birds. It has been identified that animals and birds are the carrier of coronavirus. Civet cat is one of those animals where this virus was found.* *Coronavirus was identified in China initially. To be exact, the first patient was identified in Wuhan City of China.* **How Coronavirus is spreading?** *Although Coronavirus came to humans through animals, it is now spreading from person-to-person. Last few months the virus was limited in China only. Now, it has been spread major countries of the world including but not limited to Italy, India, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and many more. And it is spreading rapidly. This virus spreads when the affected person coughs and sneezes without protection.* **The symptoms of Coronavirus disease:** *The symptoms of Coronvirus is like common cold and fever. In addition you might feel breathing problems. Cough and sneezing are the other symptoms.* **What precautions we can take?**

We should take below initiatives.* **— We should avoid crowded place.** **— We should wash our hands frequently with soap.** **— We should avoid touching mouth and nose if it is really not required.** **— We should maintain far distance from the person who are already affected.** **— We should wear face mask.
