Background

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan, Hubei, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[4] [5]

The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[6] [7] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[8] [6]
