The COVID-19 is a contagious viral disease, was first emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and became the whole world on alert. The mortality rate in top most countries in Asia with special reference to Pakistan has been focused. Since February 26 to September 2020 the total confirmed cases and mortality rate was measured through Wikipedia and the notable journals. Iran is the only country having highest number of deaths (5.73%) followed by Indonesia (3.77%) while Saudi Arabia shows the lowest number of deaths as 1.39%. In Pakistan the first case was confirmed in 26th February, 2020. The nCov-19 has closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) hence SARS COV-2 was named. This virus is responsible for more than 33.9 million deaths in over all the world as of 20th September, 2020. The number of new cases is increasing time to time. Sindh province of Pakistan has reported the highest number of cases till September, 20, 2020 as compared to other parts of the country and has the highest number of death followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Because of the person to person contact the disease is spreading rapidly. The individuals who has already infected with other diseases like cancer or diabetic etc. are vulnerable. The nCOV-19 is the most contagious due to its mode of transmission. There is still no vaccine is available for the treatment of disease caused by nCoV-2019. It is therefore the only option to control this pandemic is to adopt effective preventive measures.
新冠病毒是一种传染性病毒疾病,于 2019 年 12 月首次在中国武汉出现,引起全球警惕。死亡率是亚洲大多数国家关注的焦点,尤其是巴基斯坦。自 2020 年 2 月 26 日至 9 月 20 日,通过维基百科和知名期刊来衡量各国的确诊病例和死亡率。伊朗是死亡人数最多的国家(5.73%),其次是印度尼西亚(3.77%),而沙特阿拉伯的死亡率最低,为 1.39%。2020 年 2 月 26 日,巴基斯坦首次确诊了新冠病例。这种新型冠状病毒与严重急性呼吸系统综合征(SARS)密切相关,因此被命名为 SARS-CoV-2。截至 2020 年 9 月 20 日,这种病毒已导致全球超过 3390 万人死亡。新增病例数量在不断增加。截至 2020 年 9 月 20 日,巴基斯坦信德省报告的病例数是全国其他地区中最高的,其次是死亡人数最多的开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省。由于人际接触,这种疾病传播迅速。已经感染癌症或糖尿病等其他疾病的人更容易受到感染。由于其传播方式,nCOV-19 是最具传染性的病毒。目前还没有针对 nCoV-2019 感染的治疗方法。因此,控制这种大流行的唯一选择是采取有效的预防措施。
