Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has more than 82% genome similarity with SARS-CoV and more than 89% similarity with two bat coronaviruses, bat-SL-CoVZXC21 and bat-SL-CoVZC45. The virus went and caused the most recent pandemic in human history with fatality totaling more than 3 million deaths, and cases rising up to 176 million worldwide according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In this paper, a retrospective analysis of the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 around the world are presented.
