Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported as a worldwide emergency. Due to the extensiveness of spread and death, it has been declared as a pandemic. This review focused on the current pandemic situation and understanding the prevention and control strategies of COVID-19. Data presented here was by April 3, 2020. A total of 1,016,399 cases of COVID-19 with 53,238 deaths was reported from 204 countries and territories including two international conveyances over the world. After China, most of the new cases were from Europe, particularly Italy acting as the source of importation to many of the other countries around the world. China has obtained success by ascribing control strategies against COVID-19. The implementation of China's strategy, as well as the development of a vaccine, may control the pandemic of COVID-19. Further robust studies are required for a clear understanding of transmission parameters, prevention, and control strategies of SARS-CoV-2. This review paper describes the nature of COVID-19 and the possible ways for the effective controlling of the COVID-19 or similar viral diseases that may come in the future.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已被报告为全球紧急情况。由于其传播范围广和致死率高，它已被宣布为大流行病。本综述聚焦于当前的大流行形势以及对COVID-19防控策略的理解。此处呈现的数据截至2020年4月3日。全球204个国家和地区（包括两艘国际交通工具）共报告了1,016,399例COVID-19病例，其中53,238人死亡。在中国之后，大多数新增病例来自欧洲，尤其是意大利成为世界上许多其他国家的输入源头。中国通过实施针对COVID-19的防控策略取得了成功。中国策略的实施以及疫苗的研发可能控制COVID-19的大流行。需要进一步开展有力研究以清楚了解SARS-CoV-2的传播参数、预防和控制策略。这篇综述文章描述了COVID-19的本质以及有效控制COVID-19或未来可能出现的类似病毒性疾病的可能方法。
