Description
Summary:Sir, The description of a novel human coronavirus initially referred to as the Wuhan coronavirus (CoV), currently designated as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 as per the latest International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) classification[1] is probably the most recent human pneumonia virus with high outbreak potential. [...]date, detailed morphology and ultrastructure of this virus remains incompletely understood. A 500 μl aliquot from this specimen that had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was centrifuged to remove the debris.
