Introduction: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which arises in Wuhan, China, and spread all around the world. The Genomic analysis shows that SARS-CoV-2 is related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-like (SARS-like) bat viruses, so bats could be the possible primary reservoir for this disease. Fractional Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine Booster and Rotavirus Study (FIPV) is a macrophage-tropic and it is believed that it causes aberrant cytokine/chemokine expression and lymphocyte depletion, resulting in a lethal disease. Some strains of IBV, a V-coronavirus, also affect the urogenital tract of chickens causing renal disease. Infections of the reproductive tract with IBV significantly diminish egg production, causing a substantial loss in the egg production industry each year. Most adults or children with COVID-19 infection are with mild flu-like symptoms and a few patients are in critical condition and develop acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, multiple organ failure, even death of the individuals. The intermediate source of origin and the transmission of the virus to humans is not known, the rapid human to human transfer has been confirmed widely. There is no clinically approved antiviral drug or vaccine available for COVID-19. Recombinant protein from the urban strain of SARS-CoV was administered to mice and hamsters, resulting in the production of antibodies and protection against COVID-19. Prevention is the best solution to stop the spread of coronavirus and hence the global pandemic. The current review is about the history of COVID-19. Materials and Methods: We conducted a scoping review to draw information about the History of Coronavirus infection COVID-19. Literature Search and Inclusion/ Exclusion Criteria: The information is retrieved by searching the keywords. Sampling / Data collection was done by using search engines like Google Scholar, PubMed, Cochrane. The total number of articles searched was 30. Conclusion: The present medical support is only by symptomatic treatment as the vaccine is still under trials, hence preventive measures and supportive therapies are the only treatments. Most previous studies have focused on epidemiology and potential causes, whereas the current study explores the coronavirus as a whole, ranging from origin to prevention and control.
