ABSTRACT

Aim: Novel COVID 19 is yet an unstoppable Pandemic disease and the uncertainty continues till today. At the onset of novel covid-19 it has started as an endemic and thereafter the outbreak becomes pandemic. Even WHO (World Health Organization) is finding difficulty to control over the spread. We have only focused on the data for interpretation of our state Tamil Nadu. This year, on March 7th, a new case was reported in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. As the mortality rate is highly increased in old age people either due to age factors or Co morbidities. Now the disease has fulminated beyond control hence various organization and institutions are struggling for remedy to subdue the spread of virus. As we introspect about the prevalent spread of the same we decided to carry out a study and limelight for further exploration. Hence, here in this study we have described and put forth the efforts to compile and disseminate few of the epidemiological studies on novel COVID-19. Results: Out of 22,333patients, 668 were masculine gender patients and almost equal but slightly less in number that is 618 patients were female patients among the pediatric population during the period of our study. Next to that adolescents and adults were the preponderant group. In this, the number of males is approximately double that of the female gender. The former shows 12123 in number and the later is 6863. In this same age group, 9 were transgender. Conclusion: COVID-19 mortality risk is highly in geriatric patients when compared with adults. In addition this disease victimizes male gender more when compared to female gender.
