Abstract

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a highly communicable and pathogenic viral infection caused by
the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that has developed in Wuhan, China
and spread all over the world.Genomic analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically associated
with severe, acute respiratory syndrome-like (SARS-like) bat viruses, so bats could be the primary reservoir
possible. The intermediate source of origin and human transfer is unknown, but the accelerated human to
human transmission has been widely confirmed.Maximal precautionary steps and resources have also been
put forwardby most nations to mitigate transmission and decrease mortality rates.
