The 2019-nCoV, which is genetically different from two previously reported human-infecting β-coronaviruses: SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus) and MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus), has been considered as a new β-coronavirus and named as SARS-CoV-2 (subgenus: Sarbecovirus) [2,3].
