Corona virus disease is thought to be of zoonotic origin which has been named SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and was first introduced in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Although the corona virus-associated inflammatory state can additionally lead to significant thromboembolic complications despite prophylaxis, previous studies have reported the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 are varied, ranging from asymptomatic to severe.
