ABSTRACT
The term “Pandemic” is generally taken to refer to a widespread epidemic of transmissible disease throughout the whole of a country or one or more continents at the same time. Key features of pandemics are wide geographic extension, disease movement, high attack rates and explosiveness, minimal population immunity, novelty, infectiousness, contagiousness, and severity. The appearance and spread of pandemics occurred regularly throughout history. Major pandemics and epidemics that struck the human race rigorously were plague, cholera, flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).The world is currently affecting the new deadly disease, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which is caused by SARS-Cov-2 Virus. This pathogenic virus spread all over the world. As it is a virus, it can extend easily and cause severe illness to humans. Several improved tactics have been taken in scientific and medicinal concern;we must consider the medicinal values of plantbased medicines to prevent many pandemic diseases. © 2022 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
