In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as the first coronavirus-initiated pandemic. COVID-19's fast-paced global spread with a broad range of clinical manifestations compelled health regulatory organizations, public health professionals, and researchers to update their information about the disease and provide individual- and community-based guidelines, solutions, and regulations to break the disease cycle, mitigate person-to-person transmission, and reduce cross-contamination in healthcare settings. In this review, the authors provide known facts and updated information about SARS-CoV-2 virology and its new variants, transmission routes, reported clinical symptoms, epidemiology, and infection control and prevention guidelines with a focus on a hierarchy of controls in dental settings.
2020 年 3 月，世界卫生组织宣布 COVID-19 为首次由冠状病毒引发的大流行。COVID-19 在全球范围内迅速传播，临床表现广泛，促使卫生监管机构、公共卫生专业人员和研究人员更新他们对该疾病的信息，并提供基于个人和社区的指南、解决方案和法规，以打破疾病循环，减轻人际传播，并减少医疗机构中的交叉污染。在这篇综述中，作者提供了有关 SARS-CoV-2 病毒学及其新变种、传播途径、报告的临床症状、流行病学以及感染控制和预防指南的已知事实和最新信息，重点是牙科环境中的控制层次。
