COVID-19, a disease caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), has spread across the globe, since its first outbreak in Wuhan, China. Evidence of human-to-human transmission has led to extreme quarantine measures, such as closure of borders, sealing of large cities, and confinement of people in their homes to control virus from spreading. Lessons learned from previous coronavirus outbreaks have resulted in rapid determination of virus nucleic acid sequence; however, research on SARS-COV-2 is still in nascent stage. Herein, we have compiled information on COVID-19 from recently published reports and discussed them in an organized format. We have provided brief introduction to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and discussed its epidemiology in detail. Moving on, we have discussed about novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and its transmission and highlighted clinical symptoms of COVID-19. In addition to this, disease diagnosis, available treatment options, and finally prevention and control measures are briefly discussed. |
