Abstract

Since December 2019, a series of unexplained pneumonia cases have been reported in Hubei Province, China. Scientists have isolated a new type of coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2), which has been infected by the virus. The epidemic in China and many countries around the world has attracted global attention. This is the third type of coronavirus discovered after the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). At present, many scholars have conducted a lot of research on it. This article focuses on SARS-CoV. The etiology, epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory examinations, diagnosis and treatment of CoV-2 are reviewed.
