On January 31, 2020, novel coronavirus (nCoV), a zoonotic virus yet to be identified into the taxonomy, created a powerful ripple through mankind that the World Health Organization has declared a global health emergency. This is definitely not the first time that an alarm has been rung by this family of viruses. Epidemic impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) due to SARS CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) by MERS CoV has engraved their place in the scientific literature. In general, CoV is known to cause respiratory diseases in humans and accounts for one-third of common cold infections. The current outbreak by 2019 nCoV in the Chinese city of Wuhan began in December 2019, has infected nearly 102,188 with 3,491 deaths reported as of March 7, 2020, and has spread to nearly 92 countries. An assumed incubation period between 2 and 14 days, with flu-like symptoms, may progress into severe pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome which may be the reason for mortality..
2020年1月31日，新型冠状病毒（nCoV），一种尚未被分类的人畜共患病毒，在人类社会中引发了巨大的波澜，世界卫生组织已宣布其为全球卫生紧急事件。这绝非该病毒家族首次敲响警钟。由SARS冠状病毒引起的严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）以及由MERS冠状病毒导致的中东呼吸综合征（MERS）所造成的疫情影响，已在科学文献中留下了印记。一般来说，冠状病毒已知会引发人类呼吸系统疾病，且占普通感冒感染病例的三分之一。2019年新型冠状病毒在中国武汉市引发的此次疫情始于2019年12月，截至2020年3月7日，已感染近102188人，报告死亡3491例，并已传播至近92个国家。假定潜伏期为2至14天，伴有类似流感的症状，可能会发展为严重肺炎或急性呼吸窘迫综合征，这可能是导致死亡的原因。
