Brief Summary

Detailed Description

As of 23 March 2020, a cumulative total of 332,930 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) were reported in 189 countries and territories worldwide. As of this time,
there had been 367 total confirmed cases of COVID-19, including four deaths in Mexico. The
clinical manifestations of patients with COVID-19 are wide, asymptomatic infection, mild
upper respiratory tract illness, and approximately 5% of critically ill patients with
COVID-19 have presented rapidly progressive respiratory failure, development of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. On March 24,
