Update your knowledge on the management of patients with coronavirus-infected pathologies”

Coronaviruses were first described in the 1960s in the nasal cavities of patients with the common cold, and until now, only six species of coronavirus were known to infect humans (HCoV) and cause respiratory diseases, up until the current pandemic:

• HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HKU1 cause mild upper respiratory tract infections; only in rare cases can they cause severe infections in pediatric populations and elderly adults. They are globally endemic and account for 10-30% of upper respiratory tract infections in adults
• The most well-known due to their pathogenicity are MERS-CoV (the coronavirus responsible for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS-CoV (responsible for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)
• Detailed investigations concluded that SARS-CoV was first transmitted to humans from civets, a species of cat native to Southeast Asia, and MERS-CoV was transmitted from dromedaries
• The coronavirus identified at the end of 2019 and originally referred to as the "Wuhan outbreak" was temporarily named 2019-nCoV but was later officially designated SARS-CoV-2 by the WHO

The outbreak began in Wuhan, China, a metropolis of 11 million inhabitants in the Hubei province, where local authorities initially reported an unknown origin of the outbreak, which was later linked to a large animal and seafood market in the city.

The first information received by the WHO office in China regarding a series of pneumonia cases of unknown etiology occurred on December 31, 2019, with the virus being identified as the cause on January 7, 2020. Three days later, scientists from Shanghai published the full genomic data of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, whose preliminary analysis suggested some amino acid homology to SARS, suggesting that it could use the ACE2 protein as a receptor, with important implications for predicting its potential to generate a pandemic. On January 10, the WHO published a series of provisional guidelines for all countries on how to prepare for the potential arrival of this virus, including how to manage sick individuals, sample analysis, patient treatment, and infection control in healthcare facilities.

Ultimately, the outbreak could not be contained in China and spread globally, with the WHO declaring a health emergency as it reached pandemic levels, resulting in hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 cases and tens of thousands of deaths in China, Italy, Spain, the United States, and 160 other countries across all continents. 

It is currently the leading public health concern from an infectious disease perspective, with a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and the global economy, and has prompted a global response in prevention efforts, vaccine and drug research, led by the WHO and the Ministries of Health of all countries.
