Abstract
Communicable diseases represent a major threat to human beings in developed and developing countries alike. On January 8, 2020, a novel coronavirus was officially announced as the causative pathogen of COVID-19 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Coronavirus are positive stranded RNA viruses that can infect birds, animals and humans. Taxonomically, these viruses are joined with the Coronaviridae family within the Nidovirales order. The suppression of viral infections is a current dispute in the medical field, not only due to the problem of spreading but also to the virus ability to escape therapy by genetic mutations.
