ABSTRACT

Covid- 19 pandemic is hitting the world at different paces in different parts. It has not only caused mammoth amount of deaths but also devastated the economy of the world. In May 2020, the Asian Development Bank announced that this pandemic could cost the global economy between $5.8 and $8.8 trillion. Countries are making efforts to reopen the businesses and other institutions but parallel to it, the spread of Covid-19 is accelerating at skyrocket pace. New strain of corona virus found recently in UK has been reported as having 17 mutations in the genome and is 56 % more transmissible. More than 50 vaccines for Covid-19 are being tested around the world with at least 80 others in earlier stages of development. The leading vaccines have already been approved fully or for emergency use in some countries. As Covid-19 is expected to stay for long, life has to be managed along with it but with a difference. This difference would be our new normal where we would have to continue wearing masks, sanitizing our hands and our surroundings repeatedly. People would come to rely on the concept of ?work from home? and ?online learning?. When there is still no sure shot cure or treatment for Covid-19, the importance of Ayurveda has emerged as people are trying to find out some respite in the form of Tulsi, Giloy and other natural remedies. People have learnt the importance of good health and started prioritizing home-made foods to ensure the strengthening of their immune system.
