ABSTRACT
The world is currently confronted with one of the most severe global pandemics, which was triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This sudden and unexpected global outbreak turned into a question of our safe existence on Earth and places everyone's lives in danger. This pandemic is characterized by rapid spread, a lack of specific diagnosis, and a shortage of specific medication. Although, many drugs are recommended to patients, and some investigations are still under clinical trials. Nonetheless, researchers and scientists are utmost endeavoring to discover a particular drug against this virus. In our current review article, we have encapsulated the pathophysiology, clinical aspects, and present therapeutic regime of COVID-19. In addition, we have explained the ethnobotanical effects of curcumin and its mode of actions against SARS-CoV-2. Taking all of this into account, current researchers are primarily interested in natural bioactive compounds with anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. In this review, we are mainly focusing on curcumin, a basic bioactive compound, a natural phenolic compound, a nutraceutical that is abundantly found in Curcuma longa L. (turmeric). Therefore, it could be a better candidate for inclusion as therapeutic regimen. Our main focus centered on its mechanism of action and how it caused inhibitory activity on Toll-like receptors, NF-κB, bradykinin, chemokines and inflammatory cytokines. Several literature reports provide evidence that curcumin could have a potential role in treatment of COVID-19. Thus, acts as an effective drug candidate against COVID-19 and further research studies need to be carried on computational biology before formulating it as a drug compound. © 2021 Malaysian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

ABSTRACT
The current year, 2020 has witnessed the world wide pandemic of COVID-19 which first originated in the Wuhan district of China. This virus rapidly migrated to the different nations of the globe through close contact of people and actions such as coughing, sneezing and spread of droplet infections. The virus had not only had a drastic impact on the population of the nation but also affected the Indian economy which is seen as one of the worst hits in the last decade. Various sectors such as the manufacturing sector, agriculture and service suffered a major blow due to the cessation of production of various goods and services which brought a drastic decline in the gross domestic product of the nation and the export and import rates. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of the coronavirus on the Indian economy and how the changes or impact could be overcome by the government and the leaders in each sector or industry. © 2021, Universitatea de Vest Vasile Goldis din Arad.

ABSTRACT
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the major pandemic that occurred first in Wuhan, from where it spread to many places all over the globe. The first case in India was reported in january 30, 2020. Due to this pandemic, lockdown has been put forth which affected the life of people both in urban as well as rural areas where people were not allowed to move freely. The lockdown shattered the economy of the country as well as the globe. Life had become so complicated and restrictions had major impact on transport,where the public transports stopped functioning. Health of the public was affected the most because they weren't aware of the precautions at its early stages. People from other places were restricted and the tourism chain was impacted, and most importantly education of the children was a big question mark. Financial sector also faced a major impact due to this lockdown.. The symptoms are fever, cold, cough and it infects the respiratory passage. The treatment has yet to be confirmed, hence a mixture of antiviral, antifungal drugs are given, intravenous immunoglobulin treatment has been given. Usage of masks, avoid being in a crowd are the steps to prevent coronavirus. This article concentrates mainly on the health impacts of people due to coronavirus. © 2021, Universitatea de Vest Vasile Goldis din Arad. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Coronavirus is a retrovirus first found in Wuhan, China. The airborne spread of the coronavirus has created a pandemic all across the globe and various had implemented social distancing and quarantine periods to limit the spread. Doctors nurses and other social helpers who deliver services to the sick and ailing people either directly or indirectly fall under the category of healthcare workers. Healthcare workers are more vulnerable to coronavirus disease. Medical workers are unwillingly quarantined in the hospitals where they do not have another choice and conventional protection such as masks and gloves are not completely effective. This pandemic had a major impact as there was decline in the financial and social conditions. The aim of the analysis was to assess the attitude of family members of healthcare workers during COVID-19. Materials and method: The present study population consisted of family members of healthcare workers in the South Indian population through an online Setting. The study design was a questionnaire based cross sectional study, conducted in 2020 and approval was obtained from the scientific review board. Self administered questionnaire was prepared pertaining to the topic and circulated through an online google forms link. Statistical analysis: The results obtained from the survey were analysed using SPSS version 22. The statistical analysis was descriptive statistics to summarise the demographic data and chi square analysis to summarise the survey data. Result: The survey found that the majority had healthcare workers as their family members and they had a positive attitude towards their work and felt proud.

ABSTRACT
Human Corona Viruses (HCoVs) are the displaying pandemic disease globally. It is commonly regarded as the pathogens of the respiratory system coupled in the midst of broad assortment of respiratory diseases. These HCoVs also revealed to possess an enveloped positive-sensed RNA viruses and multiplies mainly in the protoplasm of the host. It is been acknowledged that the virus common route of its entry is by contacting and later coalescing with the external surface of the host. Once entered the niceties of the corona virus need to be clearly understood. Although several advancements acknowledged about its structural properties as well as emphasized physicochemical and molecular mechanism of the coronavirus yet unable to distinctively comprehend on the unusual property of trimeric S protein. Characteristically the action of the coronavirus fusion peptide (FP) and induction of consensual alteration in the viral fusion proteins necessitate for comprehension. In our present review, we have imparted a concise introduction to corona viruses and discussed on their replication, physiology and molecular mechanism of pathogenicity, further portray different types of corona viruses. Hence this review noticeably highlights the outbursts of the mutated form of (SARS-CoV) commonly named as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Corona virus now basically regarded COVID-19 all over world.
