Abstract:

Coronaviruses are the largest, enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses. Seven coronaviruses that related to human disease had been identified. Four human coronaviruses (HCoV 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1) had been endemic globally and just resulted in upper respiratory tract infections in adults. The SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 are the most severe type that can lead to lower respiratory tract infection and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can cause patient deaths. Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) leading pandemic was first identified and reported in Wuhan City; Hubei province of China at the end of 2019. The disease also named Wuhan pneumonia is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARSCoV- 2). The disease spread quickly to other provinces of China and overseas. In Pakistan, the virus was first confirmed on 26th February 2020, when two cases were recorded, a student who just arrived from Iran and another person in the Islamabad Capital Territory. The present study was design to examine the prevalence of Covid-19 in District Haripur. Our study included the analysis of covid-19 cases based on age, gender, and area. The secondary data about covid-19 cases were collected from DHO (District health office) Haripur. Three months of data (April 2021-June 2021) of 986 patients; 603 (61.2%) males and 383(38.8%) females was statistically analyzed. Covid-19 was found to be more prevalent among the 41-60 years age group (38.0%) as compared to below 20 age group (5.0%), 21-40 age group (36.4%), 61-80 age group (19.4%), above 80 age group (1.2%). Covid-19 was found to be more prevalent in rural areas (51.4%) as compared to urban areas (48.6%). From above discussion we conclude that covid 19 more prevalent amonge people of age groupe 41-60 due to weak immune system.
