The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), discovered through cases of viral pneumonia in Wuhan in 2019, was officially named by the World Health Organization on January 12, 2020. Coronaviruses constitute a large family of viruses known to cause illnesses ranging from common colds to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The novel coronavirus represents a new strain previously unidentified in humans.
On January 21, 2020, the National Health Commission issued Announcement No. 1, classifying pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus as a Category B infectious disease under the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, while implementing preventive and control measures for Category A infectious diseases. Over eighteen months since its initial large-scale outbreak, the Chinese government has accumulated substantial experience in epidemic containment. However, the pandemic persists, with continuous efforts across China and globally to combat the virus. During the early stages, China rapidly isolated the virus, completed whole-genome sequencing, developed nucleic acid detection kits, and received WHO recognition for its sequencing speed. Although no specific treatment exists for COVID-19, many symptoms can be managed through clinical care, while vaccine and therapeutic development remains urgently prioritized.
The CnOpenData platform aggregates patent information related to COVID-19 prevention, providing foundational support for scientific research and clinical treatment. The dataset encompasses multiple domains: therapeutic drugs, prophylactic medications, detection and diagnostic kits, medical devices, protective equipment, medical disinfection, medical waste treatment, and wastewater management, aiming to facilitate coronavirus analysis, scientific epidemic control, and drug development.
The CnOpenData team supports medical research and public health initiatives by opening access to COVID-19 prevention patent information data (contact customer service for access), with the hope of accelerating pandemic containment efforts.
