In November/December 2019, the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) was identified and began to spread. The virus spread quickly across the globe and began to challenge governments and healthcare facilities to respond appropriately.[1,2] On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) formally declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

There is an assignment to make a COVID hospital in an engineering college. Immediately, my answer was Yes, and I prepared myself mentally because the Entire state suffered from COVID-19.
