Original statement in Section 3:
3. Host-pathogen interactions in SARS-CoV-2 infection
SARS-CoV-2 shares many of the same characteristics as most coronavirus family viruses, including a pleomorphic or spherical shaped capsid envelope 150–160 nm in size, a polycistronic mRNA with a 5′ cap and 3′ poly-A-tail, and an unsegmented, positive, single-stranded RNA genome (30 kb) [32–34]. SARS-CoV-2 has two large polyproteins, ORF1a and ORF1b; four structural proteins: spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N); and eight accessory proteins: ORF3a, ORF3b, ORF6, ORF7a, ORF7b, ORF8a, ORF8b, and ORF9b.

The authors regret to inform that the statement in our review paper regarding the eight accessory proteins of SARS-CoV-2 were wrong and correction has been made to support the current findings.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
