Abstract

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a viral disease transmitted from person to others by coughing and sneezing droplets.COVID-19 is a new virus spread over the world symptoms of COVID-19 that can range from mild to severe disease and can develop into multi-organ failures, caused death .  Method:- The study included 68 people coming to the AL-Najaf Hospitals, who are suffering from infection by COVID-19 for a period of 2 months, from April to May month 2020.
