The unidentified source of origin, its complicated transmission dynamics and exponential rate of disease progression makes it difficult for the health care professionals to contain the infection and its spread. The genomic clues obtained at the molecular level is employed both at diagnostic and therapeutic level is the only hope that helps us to survive this crisis. The determination to find a cure has struck all the fundamental researchers and the ultimate zest to conquer this pandemic is preset globally.
