Abstract

The new coronavirus (COVID-19), which causes severe respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and lung failure, is spreading Since December 2019, across the globe from China rapidly. While global institutions and companies have focused on developing vaccines for the prevention of COVID-19, no specific vaccine has yet been found.

In this review, we highlight the current status of epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and transmission to control the spread of this virus disease from the perspective of Turkey.
