Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread around the globe at unprecedented speed, infecting millions of people within the first 6 months of circulation. The virus belongs to the Coronaviridae family of viruses, which contains several species of importance for human health. The human coronaviruses (HCoVs) 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 are in circulation as seasonal respiratory viruses that mostly cause self-limiting and mild infections but which can also lead to pneumonia and bronchiolitis [2–4], whereas the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) caused a prolonged outbreak mainly limited to the Arabian Peninsula, and the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses have established global transmissions chains—the latter 3 associated with significant human mortality.
