Introduction

Coronaviruses are a group of viruses surrounded by positive sense single stranded RNA genomes. These are distributed mostly in humans, cows, pigs. Although most human coronavirus infections are mild, major outbreaks of two beta coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2002-2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012, have caused deadly pneumonia, with mortality rates of 10% for SARS-CoV and 36% for MERS-CoV. Infections, particularly influenza and pneumonia, are often common and more serious in older people with diabetes.
