A new type of coronavirus, identified in clustered atypical pneumonia cases, was added to the family of coronavirus known to cause infection in both animals and humans to date. This virus, which caused the announcement of pandemic, was especially effective in the adult age group with advanced age and comorbid disease. This factor, which generally manifests itself as a mild disease in childhood, rarely creates a critical disease picture. Various antiviral therapies have been tried as well as supportive treatments since its emergence. Although it is reported that these treatments, which are mostly administered in the adult age group, are partially effective, virusspecific treatment options are not yet available. Although drug and vaccine development efforts create a glimmer of hope, the only way to avoid infection is to follow the protection measures for now.
