2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The name "2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease" is a temporary designation from the World Health Organization (WHO).[1]
No specific treatment verified by medical research standards (in the sense of systematic reviews of peer reviewed randomized controlled clinical trials) is available as of February 2020[update],[2] so treatment is focused on alleviation of symptoms,[3] which may include fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath.[4][5]
