COVID-19 emerged as a new severe acute respiratory
illness in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and
rapidly spread worldwide to become a global
1
pandemic. Although the figures keep changing on
daily basis, by the end of October 2020, over 44
million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19
worldwide, according to World Health Organization.
The pandemic has claimed more than a million
human lives so far and resurgence in the number of
new cases and continued growth in some countries
has threatened both high and low-resource
countries alike.
In January 2020, the virus responsible for the
Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (abbreviated as
COVID19) was isolated and its RNA genome
2,3
sequenced and shared globally online. From
complete genome sequencing it transpired that the
cause of the severe acute respiratory illness that
became known as COVID-19 is in fact a novel
coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2. Since then every so
often new information about the virus and the new
infection is emerging and history is constantly being
rewritten. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis of the
viral genome sequence suggests that SARS-CoV-2
originated in animals, probably bats, and was
transmitted to other animals before crossing the
human species barrier at the Huanan wet market in
4,5,6 Wuhan Cit
