Abstract

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from mild to severe symptoms. There are at least two types of Coronavirus that are known to cause diseases that can cause severe symptoms such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new type of disease that has never been previously identified in humans. The virus that causes COVID-19 is called Sars CoV-2. Corona viruses are zoonotic (transmitted between animals and humans). Research states that SARS is transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS from camels to humans. As for the animals that are the source of transmission of COVID-19, it is still unknown. Common signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection include acute respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and shortness of breath. The average incubation period is 5-6 days with the longest incubation period of 14 days. Severe cases of COVID-19 can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Clinical signs and symptoms reported in the majority of cases were fever, with some cases having difficulty breathing, and X-rays showing a large pneumonia infiltrate in both lungs.
