Corona virus is a new strain of virus which comes under SARS family. The first case of corona was detected in the month of January on 30th in India. It has been recognized as a Pandemic by WHO which was originated in Wuhan, China in the month of December 2019. To prevent the spreading of the Virus, all the Nations of the World have taken efforts in developing awareness in the public to overcome the virus spread. The main Aim of the study is to access the knowledge, perceptions, and awareness on Covid19 Virus. In this context, I have prepared a questionnaire on the Pandemic in Google forms to check the awareness in people on the Virus especially in Telangana State, India. The survey questionnaire was attempted by a total of 150 people irrespective of Age groups, Gender and occupation. The mean awareness of people was 73%.
