In recent decades, we have faced not only the appearance of previously unknown viruses, such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), as well as the reappearance of many diseases that we have been imagined to be under control. Such as Dengue, Measles and more recently the Coronavirus, whose viral family has been known since the mid-1960s, causing respiratory infections in humans and animals.

  In Wuhan, China, it has already infected thousands of people and affected several countries. Also called 2019-nCoV, it causes an acute respiratory infection, with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath.
