It creates a common cold for other respiratory health problems. This epidemic disease is said to have been introduced in 2019. Initially, no reports were stating its presence in humans. The symptoms of the coronavirus are known through difficulty in breathing, coughing, cold and fever. This disease can prove even fatal as it can cause kidney failure, pneumonia and even death.

Though there can be many causes for the economic slowdown, including slow job creations and rural households facing financial crunch etc., currently, the one big factor that has affected the economic market globally is Coronavirus disease. The stock markets like NSE and BSE too can’t remain unaffected by it, leading their drastic fall.

Coronavirus has not only affected India and other parts of the world but also it has shrunk China’s economic market in the first quarter in this current year (2020). In comparison to 2019, the current year 2020 saw a double-digit drop in retail sales, industrial production and investment in China.
