In December 2019, a series of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology, which were epidemiologically linked to a seafood market, was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. The disease has rapidly spread around the world, becoming a global pandemic. A coronavirus, which was named 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCov), was isolated from respiratory tract samples1 and later identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The name of the disease was officially changed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
