It is a contagious disease that is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Often variable, the symptoms of the disease include fever,cough, headache, fatigue, breathing difficulties, loss of smell and loss of taste. By December 2019, the infection spread rapidly across nations mostly by the human to human transmission. The rapid human to human transmission had created worldwide panic and this sparked the governments and local assemblies to take measures like sending the population into quarantine, forbidding human contact and majorly ban international travel in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease. This had affected the travel and tourism industry the most. The aviation, hotel, travel and the various allied industries were hit the hardest as they depended on people travelling from one place to another, which was then banned and completely shut down.
