Abstract
Scientists and medical doctors have been contributing largely to identify novel coronavirus 2 as the cause of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV-2) which emerged in large numbers of infected people in Wuhan City since Dec. 2019 [1- 3]. Scientists quickly sequenced SARS-COV-2 and shared their knowledge with the world [3,4]. Searching for vaccine and specific therapy is the ongoing global public health concern to prevent future spreading [5]. The new research, clinical and epidemiological data on SARS-COV-2 are continuing to explode. We need to make consensus on nomenclature in SARS-COV-2 studies correctly and precisely.
