Dear Editor,rnAn outbreak of unusual pneumonia in Wuhan, China recently was caused by infection of a novel type of coronavirus.The virus and disease were denoted as 2019-nCoV and COVID-19, respectively, by the World Health Organization (WHO).Most recently, 2019-nCoV was renamed SARS-CoV-2 by Coronaviridae Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) (Gorbalenya et al.2020), or HCoV-19, as a common name for the consistence with COVID-19, by a group of virologists in China (Jiang et al.2020a, b).As of 7 March 2020,a total of 80,651 confirmed cases, including 3070 deaths, were reported in China (China CDC 2020).Global spread is undeniable with serious implications for public health,thus calling for rapid development of effective therapeutics and prophylatics (Jiang et al.2020a, b).
