The causative agent was characterized as a novel coronavirus, initially referred to as 2019-nCoV and renamed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Zhou et al., 2020b) . This respiratory illness, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has spread rapidly by human-to-human transmission, caused major outbreaks worldwide, and resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality. Based on our understanding of SARS and MERS, and their similarity to COVID-19, the human immune response in mild cases is likely characterized by a robust type I interferon antiviral response and CD4+ Th1 and CD8+ T cell response, resulting in viral clearance. ./cache/cord-336696-c3rbmysh.txt ./txt/cord-336696-c3rbmysh.txt
