Detailed description: As of 30th January 2020, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, later called COVID-19, was declared a Public Health Emergency. Governments' immediate protective measurements aim to slow down the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 disease.

Coronavirus had infected people exponentially. It has a typical symptom of influenza which includes fever, cough, fatigue sore throat and additional symptoms like breathlessness and diarrhea. There was no specific treatment to cure it and no vaccination to prevent it from further progression. The solitary solution for prevent of this virus was isolation and no gathering, which has caused people to sit in their houses and wash hands.

Literature shows that a significant larger reduction in Blood Pressure was observed in participant performing aerobic exercise. A study shows comparison between African and Asian population with hypertension indicates that Asian participant reduced more BP as compared to African .
