Özet
The novel coronavirus or the other name Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was fi rst identifi ed in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 among a group of patients that have the same symtoms of viral pneumonia. Due to the socio-economic factors in Zhuhai, Wuhan and globalization have also accelerated the spread of infectious diseases to the other parts of China and the world [1,2], The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Covid-19 a public health emergency of international concern as of 1 February 2020 and epidemic as pandemic on 12 March 2020. The virus spreads very rapidly and globally, as of 25 February 2021, there have been more than 113 million confi rmed cases of Covid-19, including more than 2.5 million deaths, reported to WHO. Although initation of vaccination have raised hopes of bringing the pandemic under control, the recent news about the mutated variant of the novel coronavirus associated with recent infections make governments and people concerned about the future. WHO is warning that back to old normals is likely to take a long time, possibly several years due to the time required to manufacture and distribute millions of doses of vaccine.
