Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that has become a pandemic in the world with very high transmission rates. COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus which initially infects animals (bats, camels, birds, and anteater). This virus is transmitted by animals to humans, then transmitted from human to human. Coronavirus that infects humans causes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).[1] [2]

COVID-19 infection begins with the invasion of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in host cells. SARS-CoV-2 has a life cycle in host cells to be able to replicate so that viral load will increase and cause symptoms of the disease. The life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 in host cells can be divided into attachment, endocytosis, membrane fusion phases, biosynthesis, and maturation. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the host body will trigger a series of immune responses that involve complex intersection signaling.[1] [2] [3] [4]
