Since December 2019, a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally. A spectrum of disease severity has been reported for the infection, with main symptoms of fever, fatigue, dry cough, myalgia, and dyspnoea.Metrics
