Abstract :
In December 2019, Wuhan became the center of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology.1 It soon became clear that a beta-coronavirus, a member of the family of coronavirus, was responsible for this pneumonia.2 It was a disease with known origin and symptoms similar to those of previous diseases.3 This paper seeks to provide findings on this disease and related evidence. Although small, it may be a contribution to scientific achievements and a way forward to help treat and care for patients with COVID-19.
