INTRODUCTION
According to the World
Health Organization (WHO), viral diseases continue to emerge and represent a
serious issue to public health. In the last twenty years, several viral
epidemics such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)
in 2002 to 2003, and H1N1 influenza in 2009, have been recorded. Most recently,
the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first
identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 [1-5].
In a timeline that reaches
the present day, an epidemic of cases with unexplained low respiratory
infections detected in Wuhan, the largest metropolitan area in China's Hubei
province, was first reported to the WHO Country Office in China, on December 31,
2019. Published literature can trace the beginning of symptomatic individuals
back to the beginning of December 2019. As they were unable to identify the
causative agent, these first cases were classified as "pneumonia of
unknown etiology [6-10]." The Chinese Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and local CDCs organized an intensive outbreak investigation
program. The etiology of this illness was attributed to a novel virus belonging
to the coronavirus (CoV) family.
