CLINICAL MANAGEMENT IN THE TREATMENT OF THE NEW CORONAVIRUS – COVID-19: LITERATURE REVIEW
Recently, in December 2019, the transmission of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in Wuhan, China, which caused COVID-19, which was then disseminated and transmitted from person to person. COVID-19 is a disease caused by the coronavirus - SARS-CoV-2, with a clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe cases. Coronaviruses are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats and bats. According to the World Health Organization, the majority (about 80%) of patients with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic, and approximately 20% of detected cases require hospital care due to respiratory distress, of which approximately 5% may require ventilatory support.
