Abstract

Novel coronavirus is a new strain of coronavirus that emerged from zoonosis of Coronaviridae family which causes severe disease in humans among all the nations of the world. The virus can spread from humans to humans through either droplet or contact transmission. An individual can show symptoms after exposure within 1-14 days with an average of around 5-6 days. Some of the manifestations are fever, dry cough, aches and pains, sore throat and severe breathing difficulty. There is no vaccine available at present but the treatment should be focused upon managing symptoms. Without proper drugs or vaccines to treat, preventive measures such as proper hand washing, respiratory etiquette, social distancing and other WHO recommended methods of community care have become mandatory to fight the pandemic. It has led all the nations around the world to lock down the cities and towns demanding the citizens to stay at home. This article throws emphasis on the preventive measures of COVID - 19 in children.
