Abstract

The pandemic of coronavirus disease commonly known as covid 19 is known to be caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to public health concern. The infection is known to be transmitted via respiratory droplets during close face to face contact with an infected individual or may be transmitted by asymptomatic individual. The time from exposure to symptom onset is estimated to be around 14 days. The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough and shortness of breath. In fight against the infection, the Government of India imposed nationwide lockdown from 24 March ,2020 onwards to prevent the spread of infection. The Government of India claims to have won battle against the pandemic by stating that the number of cases would have been higher if nationwide lockdown had not been imposed. However this claimed is being questioned as the number of cases is on the rise each day we see. In this brief review, we aim to discuss the impact of pandemic covid 19 on poor people of India.
