AAfter a cluster of human pneumonia cases in Wuhan City
(China) on 7 January 2020, a novel coronavirus, the severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), was
identified as the causative agent of the disease COVID‐19
(World Health Organization 2020). It quickly became a global
pandemic and continues to rapidly spread across the world,
having infected almost 4 million confirmed cases and
caused more than 265 000 deaths at time of publication, far
surpassing the total cases of SARS and Middle East respiratory
syndrome (MERS)
