COVID-19 is a coronavirus virus that does not belong to the Coronaviridae family. It was suggested that it originated in the Bats and was distributed to the people of Wuhan, China, in an anonymous way. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets. By touching something dirty and touching the eyes, mouth, or nose, people can get sick. Ideally the incubation period of COVID-19 virus is between three and fourteen days. Nowadays, thousands of people are suffering from this deadly virus and many of them have been died because of this deadly disease. Symptoms of the disease are coughing, fever, sneezing, and sore throat, shortness of breath, headache, and fatigue. In both COVID-19 diagnoses, samples of upper and lower respiratory tract are collected and tested in a laboratory. X-rays and CT scans of the chest are also used to diagnose the disease. Currently, there is no specific treatment for this disease, and as a result there is a need to prevent the disease from spreading.
