The world is currently witnessing a pandemic crisis caused by SARS CoV-2 having its origin in Wuhan, China. Transformation from epidemic to pandemic within a very short time-gap resulting in massive global mortality has created a sudden global deadlock affecting both human health and wealth. Clinical symptoms expressed by affected patients include dry cough, dyspnea, fever, bilateral lung infiltration and ultimately severe acute respiratory distress in advanced stages. The disease is spread over 150 countries and termed as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (W.H.O). As per W.H.O report on 2 nd May 2020 there are over 3000000 infected cases distributed throughout the globe claiming more than 200000 lives. Mortality rate is accelerating at high speed and presently crossing 6%. The entire global healthcare system is exposed and found to be inadequate to mitigate the deadly virus. At present there is no medicine or vaccine available or clinically proven for COVID-19 management. However, the global research spotlight is now focused on development of drugs or vaccine against the virus. This has created a long pipeline of such agents which are now under preclinical or clinical evaluation stage. Some existing drugs are also under efficacy evaluations against COVID-19 whereas some are allowed to be used as a prophylactic measure. WHO has framed clear guidelines for all countries to manage the spread of the virus and these are being implemented through existing government & regulatory bodies of specific countries. The present work will give detailed outline on the pandemic spread, transmission mode, therapeutic strategies and its impact on day to day human life.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has pulled us all a few steps back, were we never shake hands or hug each other when we meet our friends and family after a gap, but instead we greet them by saying Namaste and joining our hands together. As we all know, COVID-19 spreads through air and the only way to shield ourselves is by maintaining a safe distance from one another. Methodology: In order to conduct a meta-analysis on the number of COVID-19 cases in Kerala and India, the data was retrieved from various sites hosted by the government bodies. The data for analysis was collected from May 2020 to July 2020. The average number of days required to reach every 5000 fresh cases were also calculated using this data. COVID-19 has affected all the economy holistically regardless of financial, behavioral, or societal aspects. Conclusion: Lifting of the lockdown in a step by step process keeping in mind the necessities for the nation was a thoughtful act, but the people who mistook this opportunity and did not remain in quarantine after coming from abroad was recognized as the reasons behind the sudden and uncontrolled rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in Kerala, India. The government authorities had no other option but to lift the restrictions to reduce the economic burdens that had already affected the daily wage worker and farmers prompting them to give up their lives.
