Factors such as familial support, their attitude, workplace cohesiveness, and social life play a major role in social health impacting all other dimensions of health also. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was. 1. To describe and analyze the individual viewpoints of workers or their family respondents about their social well-being. 2. To analyze the social determinants such as income, cohesiveness, discrimination, and recreation, that explain a worker's social health status even beyond work. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey of the sample size of 117 respondents, residing in the urban field practice area of the medical college. RESULTS: Discrimination at the workplace was found low. Workplace cohesiveness, recreation, and regularity of jobs affected quality of life (QoL). Job satisfaction was prevalent among 80.34% of families. DISCUSSION: Time for recreation with family and workers desiring job change was significantly affected by QoL scores also. Job satisfaction was more among skilled workers. The majority of the residents put up in the area for more than 10 years. This permanence influences the regularity of the job.

There is a new public health crises threatening globally with the emergence and spread of 2019 novel coronavirus or the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is the seventh member of the coronavirus (CoV) family, which infects humans and to which the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome CoV (MERS)-and SARS-CoV also belong. SARS-CoV-2 is a newly emerging human infectious CoV that causes COVID-19, which has been recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11. The most recent outbreak initially presented as pneumonia of unknown etiology as COVID-19 is a pneumonia-like disease with a group of symptoms including fever, dry cough and shortness of breath in a cluster of patients in December 2019 Wuhan, China. The body's immune system tries to protect the body from this pathogen. And as due to its surge in the body, various respiratory and other system-related complications increased. Therefore, in this article, COVID-19 immunopathogenesis is briefly reviewed. Through this review, we try to explain the molecular immune pathogenesis and diagnosis of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, based on the recent research progress of SARS-CoV-2 and the knowledge from researches on SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.
