ABSTRACT: The new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of virus named as
COVID-19. Although, it has few similarities with pandemic flu viruses, the
respiratory system and immune system are damaged through the viruses infected
the population who has weakened immunity. SARS-CoV-2 spreads when
people don’t have the sign and symptoms. This virus COVID-19 appears to spread
more easily than the flu, and asymptomatic transmission may account for a
greater proportion of COVID-19’s spreader over the World. In inundation of the
current understanding, the roles of insect vectors are helping in the transmission of viral
pathogens as well and the possible roles of some newly joined insects in the
mechanical transmission of COVID-19. We also specifically provide the prevention
and control methods related to contamination, disease burden, risk pattern in
the family, near and dear to maintain the precision of social distancing and
development of the immune system to fight against SARS-CoV-2.
