Since the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, it has spread fast throughout China and many other nations. 2019-nCoV has now infected over 43 000 people in 28 countries/regions, making it a major worldwide health risk. Furthermore, in one study, 41 percent of patients were suspected of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 as a result of hospitalisation. Based on evidence of an increase in the number of infections and the probability of infection transmission by asymptomatic carriers. SARS-CoV-2 can be transferred easily between humans and has a high risk of becoming a pandemic.
