Line 32:1 · "Plain radiograph/CT" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

Recency

suggestion

"Currently there are no active reported cases of SARS-CoV-1 infection worldwide."

Line 6:4 · Avoid describing evidence as recent; give a date instead: 'Currently'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The SARS-related coronavirus-1 (SARS-CoV-1) is a member of the Betacoronavirus genus, one of the genera of the Coronaviridae family of viruses. Coronaviruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses found in humans, many other mammals, and birds. These viruses are responsible for pulmonary, hepatic, CNS and intestinal disease."

Line 29:316 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hepatic, CNS and intestinal'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Hitherto, seven coronaviruses have been found to be responsible for human diseases; two more are zoonoses, COVID-19 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), both of which may sometimes be fatal. The remaining four viruses are ubiquitous in human societies worldwide and cause mild coryzal illnesses."

Line 30:86 · Use semicolons judiciously.
