Abstract

Emerging and re-emerging viral infections are not new. However, the recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has attracted extensive media coverage worldwide. The first cluster of cases associated with this virus were detected at the end of December 2019 in China. Patients presented with symptoms of fever, cough and severe lower respiratory tract infection, now referred to as coronavirus disease (COVID-2019). Since then, the virus has spread to more than two dozen counties, infected over 75,000 people and killing over 2,000 (as of 18th Feb). Although an enormous body of information on this outbreak has been circulated, it is important to distinguish facts from speculations. This seminar aims to outline what we currently know about this new virus and its associated disease based on scientific data. The seminar will be of interest to a broad audience, specialist and non-specialist alike.
