Abstract
The universal spread of novel virus named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) also known as 2019-nCoV, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) declared by the world health organisation (WHO). This virus has dived in to multiorgan, with clinical manifestations of fever, sore throat, dry cough, dyspnoea, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and muscle pain. As novel coronavirus been categorised as HG3 infection which has highest with inhalation and by skin surface contact. As previous pandemics have occurred like SARS and MERS special attention to autopsy had been given to prevent exposure to the healthcare workers. Similar attention should be given to the autopsy protocols and underlying pathology for COVID-19 infection so as to better understanding of the disease for further control and treatment guidelines. Thus, herein we bring and summarise review of literature for understanding.
