In March 2020 the World Health Organization described the SARS-Cov-2 virus as global pandemic. In the whole world, confirmed cases and death rate are increasing in exponential way. SARS-Cov-2 belong to the genus Coronavirus with its high mutation rate in the Coronaviridae. The strain probably in bats and it is zoonotic but human-to-human transmission is also possible. The disease is transmitted by contact with infected droplets or inhalation and the incubation period may ranges from 2 to 14 days. The symptoms usually include fever, sore throat, cough, breathlessness, fatigue, malaise among others. In most people the diseases are mild; whereas some (usually the elderly and those with comorbidities), it may progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi organ dysfunction. Many people are asymptomatic. Treatment is essentially supportive; role of antiviral agents is yet to be established. Antiviral regimen or combination of hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin has shown positive results. This review highlights a picture of the current status on public health impact, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, diagnosis, case management, emergency response and preparedness.
