Abstract
Coronaviruses have caused at least three large scale epidemics/pandemics in humans over the past twenty years – severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003; the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012; novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 2019 – taking many lives all over the world. World Health Organization (WHO) named the new virus responsible for COVID-19 as SARS-CoV-2.
