Omer Mohi U Din Sofi

As of now, SARS CoV-2 has been identified as seventh human-infected coronavirus. Certain coronaviruses (CoVs) include SARS-CoV, 229E, HKU1, OC43, NL63 and MERS-CoV, of which SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV are zoonotic and have resulted in high-percentage outbreaks over the past two decades, while rest of them is typically associated with mild upper respiratory diseases. On 11 March 2020 the WHO announced the situation to be a pandemic that threatens humanity with a wide range. Of the new, bat and pangolins are thought to be the possible origins of SARSCoV- 2 inchoation. The COVID-19 pandemic is putting uneven stress on public health systems around the world. To mitigate the impact of this rapidly spreading virus a multidisciplinary collaborative approach is needed.

Since all pandemic viruses that emerged in the last century originate in the animal world and the ongoing changes in the respective interfaces between humans, animals and the environment have led to an increase in major predisposing factors that allow zoonotic viruses to emerge as novel human pathogens, 'peacetime' pandemic preparedness efforts should follow a 'One Health approach'.
