BACKGROUND: The discovery of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during a
pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan city (China) has raised a global public health
concern, as the city consists of around 11 million people and is considered a
major transport and logistics hub. This deadly virus caused the world to be in
high alert as the death toll and the number of confirmed cases is continuously
rising since the first case was reported. The Chinese government warned that the
transmission ability of the virus is increasing, and international efforts are
needed to overcome this outbreak. The purpose of this review is to focus on the
published articles about the new virus, which will give an insight into the
current state of research and data available, as well as recommending future
studies. METHODS: For this narrative review, more than 20 relevant scientific
articles and reports were considered from various databases (e.g., Google
Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct) using keywords such as Coronavirus Outbreak,
COVID-19, Emerging Epidemics, Emerging Infections, and Novel Coronavirus.
RESULTS: The results from this review show that the situation is rapidly
evolving, as human-to-human transmission is occurring, and the number of new
cases and mortalities is increasing by the day and on a global level. There is
still ambiguity about mutation risks and how the virus spreads as the source was
not yet identified. Major gaps in knowledge about the origin of the virus,
epidemiology and transmission impose a great challenge, which emphasizes the need
for further studies in the future.
