Abstract
The first instances of COVID-19 were reported in late December in Wuhan, Hubei region, China. This virus is most commonly seen in mammals, most notably bats, camels, cows, and some kinds of pigs. Despite this, it is well recognised that viral transfer from animals to humans is extremely infrequent. It is believed that this new mutated variant of the virus originated because of bats Pangolin and have been demonstrated in study to be the culprit. Although it is currently unknown how the virus spreads to humans. According to sources, the first case's evidence was discovered in an animal market in Wuhan. This is the most likely explanation why SARS-CoV-2 began to transmit. Close contact with an infected individual within 6 feet of each other is the most typical way for this virus to spread. When an individual's symptoms are at their climax, the virus is most contagious. Furthermore, because they do not exhibit any symptoms, carriers are a key contributor to the spread of this condition. Lately the coronavirus disease of 2019 pandemic has motivated global research efforts to find those who are at higher risk of developing more illness. General obesity has been proven to have a significant relationship to seriousness of major COVID infection symtom presentations. Obesity epidemic provides a serious complicaiton to chronic disease avoidance and good health all over the world.
