Abstract

There was a significant lack of knowledge about pathology, transmission method, epidemiology and management of the novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Comparison of the genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) showed that SARS-CoV-2 had some different sequence. Major symptoms showed in COVID-19 were like severe pneumonia disease such as fever, cough and respiratory problems that were similar symptoms to SARSCoV. The aim of this study was to have a preliminary concepts about the taxonomy, morphology and genome of its pathogen. This study was also focused to find the ways of management, treatment, as well as prevention of COVID-19 or Global disaster in 2020. Isolation of cases, home quarantine, hygienic habits and social distancing were recommended to check human to human transmission. Antivirals drugs, anticoagulant therapy, use of serum of recovered persons from this disease and development of vaccine were under investigation.
