Chinese health agencies informed the World Health Organization (WHO) in December 2019 about an outbreak of pneumonia unknown etiology, attributed to a new virus called 2019-nCov, later named SARS-CoV-2 (the etiological agent COVID-19). These microorganisms, belonging family Coronaviridae and subfamily Coronavirinae, are formed by positive single-stranded RNA containing nucleocapsid spike proteins or spicules. They have high contamination rates, spread capacity, lethality rates directly...
