Abstract :
The pandemic outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease
2019 (COVID‑19) claiming thousands of lives since the
last months of 2019, globally, has changed the face of
the world, visions and expectations from the medical
facilities, and up to now there is no definite treatment or
vaccine for the infection.[1] Hence, the prompt action and
most effective protocol against the disease is supportive
care and educating the population for effective hygienic
considerations.
