End 2019, the zoonotic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), named COVID-19 for coronavirus disease 2019, is the third adaptation of a contagious virus following the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus in 2002, SARS-CoV, and the Middle East respiratory syndrome virus in 2012, MERS-CoV. COVID-19 is highly infectious and virulent compared to previous outbreaks. We review sources, contagious routes, preventive measures, pandemic, outbreak, epidemiology of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 from 2002 to 2020 using a Medline search. We discuss the chronology of the three coronaviruses, the vulnerability of healthcare workers, coronaviruses on surface and in wastewater, diagnostics and cures, and measures to prevent spreading.
截至2019年底，人畜共患的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2），因2019年冠状病毒病而被命名为COVID-19，是继2002年的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒（SARS-CoV）和2012年的中东呼吸综合征病毒（MERS-CoV）之后的第三种具有传染性的病毒变种。与之前的疫情相比，COVID-19具有高度传染性和毒性。我们使用医学在线数据库搜索，回顾了2002年至2020年期间SARS-CoV、MERS-CoV和SARS-CoV-2的来源、传播途径、预防措施、大流行、疫情爆发及流行病学情况。我们讨论了这三种冠状病毒的时间顺序、医护人员的易感性、冠状病毒在物体表面和废水中的情况、诊断和治疗方法以及防止传播的措施。
