Abstract

This paper aims to examine the global repercussions of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, originating from an undisclosed region in Wuhan, China. The pandemic has inflicted widespread damage on economies and health systems, resulting in a significant number of global fatalities. Common symptoms include fever, cold, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, body rashes, and loss of taste or smell. While there is no specific treatment for the virus, preventive measures play a crucial role in controlling its spread. This study concentrates on the preventive safety measures implemented by India and three additional regions, with a particular emphasis on reducing the death rate. The findings reveal that the adoption of four strategic factors has contributed to a decrease in the death rate in Africa, while successful vaccination programs have played a key role in lowering mortality rates in other regions. To curb the virus's transmission, the paper underscores the importance of adhering to measurable steps such as mask-wearing, maintaining social distance and hygiene, enhancing immunity, isolating individuals in contact with COVID-19 positive patients, and advocating self-quarantine."
