This article on “The Medical Sociology of
Covid-19: The Greatest Enemy of Man in the 21st
Century” is intended to establish the significant
relationship between Covid-19, Man and the
environment. The concept of Medical Sociology in the
context of this discourse is seen as that field in Sociology
that connects Man, Society and Medicine. It is also
viewed as the development of knowledge and the
selection of methods including actions and interactions of
healthcare professionals, and the social or cultural
effects of medical practice in the control and
management of disease conditions. The paper equally
examined the origin of the ravaging Corona Virus
Disease today and it’s universally accepted definition,
management and control mechanisms. The extent to
which Covid-19 is redefining man and reordering man’s
social, cultural and economic relationship is equally
highlighted. The destructive effects of Corona Virus
Disease on human body were also examined. Attempt to
establish the meaning of Community Spread as defined
by World Health Organization (WHO) to mean a person
contacting the Covid-19 without knowing the source of
the infection was equally made. Community
transmission or Community spread of COVID-19 as
constantly used by health workers refers to someone who
gets the virus even though they haven’t been out of the
country or haven’t been exposed to someone who has
traveled abroad or who has COVID-19. The article
concludes by asserting that Corona Virus Disease
remains the greatest threat to human existence today
and suggestions on how to lower the curve of Covid-19
were spelt out
Keywords : Medical Sociology, Covid-19, Community Transmission/Spread.
