Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first described in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It has spread across all continents and was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO), on March 11, 2020, as a global pandemic. On June 24, 2020, 9,129,146 cases and 473,797 deaths from SARS-CoV-2 / COVID 19 were reported by the WHO. The virus is transmitted through droplets, although it has also been found in feces and blood, thus allowing other means of potential transmission. The symptoms associated with SARS-CoV -2 infection include fever, myalgia or fatigue, productive cough or non-productive cough dyspnoea, fatigue, or myalgia in most cases. There are also reports of symptoms such as headache, sore throat, hemoptysis and gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain, but with less incidence.
