ABSTRACT
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) is the most dangerous pandemic of the 21st century and the main epicenter of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is Wuhan in the Hubei province of China. Coronavirus is so-called because of the spike on its surface (corona= crown) that belongs to coronvirinaesubfamily. There are mainly four groups like alpha, beta, gamma, delta established on their genomic assembly. The review focuses on brief introduction to coronaviruses discussing the role of rennin-angiotensin system in hypertensive and coronary vascular disease. Based on the published evidence, we also discuss genetic risk of COVID-19. This review article also highlights current developments in designing vaccines and therapeutics in the hope of providing a reference for future studies and help for the prevention of the COVID-19 epidemic.
