ABSTRACT

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the rapid spread of a disease, affecting thousands of people worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The virus has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan city, China, in December 2019. The clinical presentation is that of a respiratory infection with a severity of symptoms ranging from mild illness similar to the common cold up to severe viral pneumonia causing life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is no specific treatment available that has been clinically proven, other than supportive treatment.
