On December 31, 2019, the WHO Country Office for China reported cases in Wuhan, China, and a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was identified on January 7, 2020, which has not previously been detected in humans. Later, the name of his disease was accepted as COVID-19.

The virus can sometimes cause lower respiratory diseases such as heart-lung patients, people with compromised immune systems, or pneumonia in the elderly. Laboratory tests for DIAGNOSIS are not used frequently, as clinical symptoms are mild. However, when the doctor deems it necessary (PCR), the genetic fingerprint of the virus can be checked.
