This virus has high transmissibility and affects the lower respiratory tract.

COVID-19 is a serious and dangerous infectious disease and a significant threat to the health of the world's population, and should be prevented from spreading rapidly. Conclusion: Because the exact mechanisms of the disease have not been fully elucidated and specific drug or vaccine have not yet been developed for it, control is mainly based on the interruption of the transmission cycle.http://jams.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-6296-en.htmlcoronaviruscovid-19respiratory infection |
