of SARS-CoV-2 revealed a diverging spherical outline with some degree of pleomorphism, virion diameters varying from 60 to 140 nm, and distinct spikes of 9 to 12 nm, giving the virus the appearance of a solar corona (3). The CoV genome is arranged linearly as 5′-leader-UTR-replicase-structural genes (S-E-M-N)-3′ UTR-poly(A) (32). Accessory genes, such as 3a/b, 4a/b, and the
