The disease is transferred by inhalation or contact with contaminated droplets, and the incubation period varies from 2 to 14 days. COVID-19 has led to unprecedented pressures as demand for healthcare in hospitals and intensive care units around the world increases. As the epidemic intensifies, determining the resulting needs for health care resources (beds, staff, equipment) has become a priority for many countries.
