Mortality due to fungal infections in ICU has been reported in a wide range of 5–70% (Gudlaugsson et al. 2003; Falagas et al. 2006). When we look at the international prevalence researches, it can be noticed that intensive care mortality increased

INTRODUCTION
2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness. A growing number of patients reportedly have indicated person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it’s unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people.
Therefore, it is very important to visually analyse the COVID-19 Epidemic Situation, which helps to control the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and

BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the challenges inherent in the transfer of patients with highly contagious pathogens. The inherent risks in this setting include:
inability to maintain appropriate physical distancing1,
prolonged patient exposure time2
the requirement to perform aerosol-generating procedures3.
the potential risk of high viral load within the enclosed aircraft cabin.
inability to extricate from the environment
Aeromedical organisations must ensure both staff

To date it is unknown whether this novel coronavirus originated from wild animals, however, a common ancestor with that of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was found for the bat coronavirus HKU9-1 (Xu et al., 2020), Both shared the same receptor, therefore the virus was called SARS-CoV-2 and recently WHO named it coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

SARS-CoV-2 in December 2019 in Wuhan (Hubei province, China) marked the next introduction of a novel, highly pathogenic CoV into the human population [112]. In most cases, SARS-CoV-2 causes mild or moderate respiratory illness and the recovery does not require any special treatment. However, some infected individuals, with associated medical conditions, developed a severe disease called Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with such clinical manifestations as dyspnea, hypoxia, and lung lesions

Background
On 31 December 2019, China informed the World Health Organization (WHO) of a novel viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan (Hubei). The WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on 30 January 2020. Subsequently, on 12 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic(1).

A search of Royal the Geographical Society of South Australia publications at the time of the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918–1919 found no record of that tragic event. In view of this, it was decided to conduct a survey of members during the current COVID-19 pandemic to provide a record for posterity. The paper commences with an overview of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, in Australia and South Australia followed by a brief review of other COVID-19 surveys. It then describes the RGSSA survey

On 11 February 2020 WHO officially declared the name “COVID-19” for this novel coronavirus disease [13]. It has become an international calamity affecting over 32.1 million people worldwide with over 980,000 deaths overall and these numbers are still increasing day by day [38]. The countries severely affected by COVID-19 included the USA, India, Brazil, Russia, France, Italy, China

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality, place unprecedented challenges on health care systems, and affect the global economy. Early efforts to diagnose and treat COVID-19 largely relied on nucleic acid testing and basic supportive care. Among treatment options considered early in the pandemic, convalescent plasma (CP) therapy quickly emerged as a potential strategy to combat the new SARS-CoV-2 pathogen.1 Despite conflicting data

Since the first case of Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) was confirmed in the United States on January 21, 2020, over 13 million people in the U.S. have confirmed cases of COVID-19. Despite multiple national- and state-wide interventions and prevention measures including banning non-essential travel and stay-at-home orders, on April 12, the USA became the nation with the most deaths globally. As of December 2, the U.S. death toll surpassed 271,000.

Introduction
The COVID-19 virus arrived in New Zealand in February 2020, and the subsequent lockdown aimed at reducing spread resulted in New Zealand schools closing for a period of time. This closure was unprecedented for most schools, and principals had to adapt their usual leadership approaches. This article presents the perspectives of a sample of secondary principals regarding the changes they made to their leadership practices over lockdown, the ways in which leadership was distributed

INTRODUCTION
COVID-19 pandemic has introduced radical changes in people’s everyday lives. New restrictions placed on society have become a catalyst for rethinking what is considered the norm of social behaviour. Over the course of several months, quarantine measures changed the way people interact with each other, and these social transformations gradually began to affect the arrangement of urban spaces, public and residential buildings.

In this research work, different innovative systems will be proposed for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The SARS-CoV-2 virus consists of four structural proteins, namely, spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N). The name coronavirus is due to the presence of spike glycoproteins S (the S1 subunit and the S2 subunit) on its surface/envelope, just like a crown. Since the end of 2019, the COVID-19 virus has spread widely all over the world. In this field, the technology offers

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been a concern for mankind and healthcare workers (HCW) for the past few months. About 5% of the patients become critically ill and require intubation and mechanical ventilation. Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) has been the cornerstone of airway management for decades. In today’s era of COVID, applying and following the conventional principles of RSI may lead to significant exposure to viral load for HCW. Pre-oxygenation using bag-and-mask ventilation

During the COVID-19 outbreak, the concept of “home” came to the surface when citizenship suddenly defined people’s experience of belonging. Citizenship determined which rules and regulations applied, where people were able to go and their eligibility to

The common symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 include fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and myalgia (Chen et al. 2020). Several confirmed cases of COVID-19 with recurrently positive SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) in swabs and stool have been identified in China (Wu et al. 2020).
