The previous viral outbreaks like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV have also shown a greater mortality rate when transmitted to humans than other animals.

So far, great steps have been taken such as hrsACE2 by a Swedish team from Karolinska Institute. Monash University announced the efficacy of Ivermectin to overcome COVID-19. The CRISPR/Cas13d as a new innovative therapeutics based might overcome the challenge of COVID-19. those strains of virus which lacking E protein-encoding regions are the perfect choice for vaccine development.
