<h4>Background</h4> The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is among the most dangerous infectious diseases that have emerged in recent history. Human CoV strains discovered during previous SARS outbreaks have been hypothesized to pass from bats to humans using intermediate hosts, e.g. civets for SARS-CoV and camels for MERS-CoV.
