Abstract

Abstract
A new coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome) (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic initially began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, which became an international harm to public life. Globally the count of reported patients of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) from 31st December 2019 to 14th April 2020 has achieved 1 873 265 cases, which include 118 854 fatalities. Many of the COVID-19 cases seem to be mild and rapidly improved, however, the infection can be terminal, with an incidence of deaths about 3 percent. Pulmonary disease was found to be the main injury done via the coronavirus two disease (SARS-CoV-2). Furthermore, hepatic damage was documented to exist in extremely ill patients. Likewise, multiple pieces of research found that hepatic injury became widespread in cases diagnosed with another two more serious coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and correlated to the intensity and poor outcome of the infection.
