Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by SARS-CoV-2 originated from China and spread across every corner of the world. The scientific interest on COVID-19 increased after WHO declared it a pandemic in the early February of 2020. In fact, this pandemic has had a worldwide impact on economy, health, and lifestyle like no other in the last 100 years. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to Coronaviridae family and causes the deadliest clinical manifestations when compared to other viruses in the family. COVID-19 is an emerging zoonotic disease that has resulted in over 383,000 deaths around the world. Scientists are scrambling for ideas to develop treatment and prevention strategies to thwart the disease condition. In this review, we have attempted to summarize the latest information on the virus, disease, prevention, and treatment strategies. The future looks promising.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病起源于中国,并蔓延到世界的每一个角落。2020年2月初世界卫生组织宣布新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)为大流行病后,科学界对它的兴趣增加。事实上,这场大流行在经济、健康和生活方式方面对全球产生了过去100年来前所未有的影响。SARS-CoV-2属于冠状病毒科,与该科中的其他病毒相比,会引发最致命的临床表现。COVID-19是一种新出现的人畜共患病,已在全球导致超过38.3万人死亡。科学家们正在竞相寻找办法来制定治疗和预防策略,以对抗这种疾病状况。在这篇综述中,我们试图总结有关该病毒、疾病、预防和治疗策略的最新信息。未来充满希望。
