Abstract

The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a viral infection caused by a new coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is considered as a public health emergency of international concern. The only available way, apparently effective, to control this pandemic is the social distancing. However, other possible aspects of infection control may be mentioned. In this review, we highlight certain peculiarities linked to the nature of the virus and its angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor, the host defense and the final clinical manifestation of the infection that could be essential elements in strengthening the effectiveness of COVID-19 pandemic control efforts.
