Coronavirus is quite similar to SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Symptoms) and MARS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) in terms of its origin and characteristics. Health professionals from all around the world have been putting their best foot forward to prevent the outbreak as it has infected more than 2000 people and nearly 80 people have died due to the deadly virus in China.
