Covid-19: from crisis management to sustainable solutions

In France in late January 2020, five patients were diagnosed with infections caused by a new virus. Two of them were almost asymptomatic and made a rapid recovery. The condition of another two was initially reassuring before deteriorating after ten days and the fifth patient immediately developed a serious form of infection that led to multiple organ damage. These five patients were the first known cases in France of a novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Since the first known epidemic of this type of coronavirus dated back to 2003, the new coronavirus was dubbed SARS-CoV-2.
