简要总结
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by recently discovered novel coronavirus (World Health Organization, 2020a). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) (National Health Mission, 2020). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19 (World Health Organization, 2020).
As per WHO, COVID-19 has affected 215 countries or territories or areas. Till 16th July 2020, there have been infected over 12,015,193 people of COVID-19, including 549,247 deaths reported Globally (World Health Organization, 2020c). In India, COVID-19 has been infected 974,737 people in which 331146active cases, 612814 recovery and has claimed 24915 deaths, as per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, 2020).

Certain meditation, yoga asana (postures), and pranayama (breathing) practices may possibly be effective adjunctive means of treating and/or preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection (Bushell et al., 2020).
