Abstract

Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2019) defined the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a virus caused by a novel coronavirus, which was first discovered during an outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (2020) explained that the coronaviruses (CoV) are a large group of viruses that cause ailments inclusive of the regular cold to even more severe ailments such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been formerly found in humans. The deadly illness was birthed from SARS-CoV-2 and was eventually named COVID-19 by the WHO (2020) and the name was chosen to prevent defaming its foundations in terms of populaces, topography, or animal connotations.
