The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was first discovered in Wuhan (China) in December 2019 and belongs to the same family as that of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization announced the outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Diagnosis of this disease is carried out by using special molecular tests. It is mandatory to identify the individual with COVID-19 symptoms, and isolation is necessary to prevent further transmission of this virus. This review highlights the formation, prodrome, transmission and survival mechanism of COVID-19 and shows that the pandemic circumstance fundamentally improves the air quality in various urban areas across the globe, decreases water contamination and commotion and diminishes the tension on the traveller objections, which may facilitate the reclamation of the natural framework. The worldwide effect of this new outbreak is still dubious.
2019年新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2于2019年12月在中国武汉首次发现,与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒1属于同一家族。2020年1月30日,世界卫生组织宣布该疫情为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。这种疾病通过特殊的分子检测进行诊断。必须识别出有COVID-19症状的个体,并且隔离对于防止这种病毒的进一步传播是必要的。本综述重点介绍了COVID-19的形成、前驱症状、传播和生存机制,并表明大流行情况从根本上改善了全球各城市地区的空气质量,减少了水污染和噪音,并减轻了旅游景点的压力,这可能有助于自然生态系统的恢复。这次新疫情的全球影响仍不明朗。
