dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: The novel infectious disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, seems increasingly unlikely to be contained, resulting in the first pandemic of this decade. Approximately 81% of those infected develop a relatively mild respiratory illness only. While this is good news, the risk of severe disease is higher for the elderly and persons with chronic illness.en_ZA
