    Abstract The new member of the coronavirus family created havoc in the world in few days of its discovery and was declared as a pandemic by March 2020. The enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus was first identified in a patient with dry cough, pain, and weakness for the past1 week with unknown etiology in Wuhan. The coronavirus soon spread across the globe in the next few weeks. To curb the spread of coronavirus, stringent measures such as lockdown and social distancing were enforced resulted in a declining of cases in various countries. However, unlocking, relaxation of preventive measures, and changing human behaviors led to a drastic increase in the number of COVID-19 cases resulting in the second wave of transmission. This resulted in reimposing of lockdown measures in countries such as Nepal, Italy, France, Netherland, and Germany. At present, the virus has affected over 110.7 million peoples and over 2.4 million deaths across the world, with India having the second-highest number of COVID-19 cases, following the United States of America. Furthermore, a cross-sectional view of the disease states several new strains being reported across the globe at one end and at another end there is rolling out of vaccine against COVID-19. There is still uncertainty related to curbing of the pandemic as effect of vaccine on new strains is undetermined. Thus, it is important to understand the transforming epidemiology of the virus as it helps in planning necessary steps for physicians and policymakers. The present review summarizes the updated information primarily about the epidemiology of COVID-19, from initiation to the present scenario.

    Abstract Background and Objective: With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face training was suspended considering social-distancing norms. The training needs of the healthcare workers (HCWs) were being met by the online mode. Initially, the use of the online mode was limited but was eventually popularized with increased use. This would have led to a change in the perception toward the online mode. However, the use of online learning has financial and temporal obstacles. With this objective, a study was conducted among the HCWs to assess the perception, satisfaction, and preference associated with the modes of learning. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2021 among the HCWs. An online link to the survey was circulated among the HCWs who attended online or/and offline training. The questionnaire had 38 questions assessing the sociodemographic details, perception, satisfaction level, and preferences of the participants. Univariable and multivariate logistic regression were performed using SPSS v-22. Results: A total of 1,113 responses were received with the mean age of 33.17 ± 8.13 years and approximately 63% of the participants were females. Approximately 54% perceived the online mode of learning as a better mode of learning. Also, 67% preferred and 80.5% recommended the online mode whereas mean satisfaction was found to be more for the offline mode as compared to the online mode. Interpretation and Conclusions: The study concludes that the online mode of learning is the most preferred and recommended mode among the HCWs, whereas there is more dissatisfaction with respect to the online mode. The study also emphasizes that the instructors need to improve the practical knowledge of the learners by integrating technical modalities.
