Following publication of the Review article by SKM Haque, O Ashwaq, A Sarief and AKAJ Mohamed, titled ‘A comprehensive review about SARS-CoV-2’, which appeared in the October 2020 issue of Future Virology 15(9), 625–648 (2020), it has been brought to our attention that the article was published with an error in the following section, regarding the inclusion of hemagglutinin–esterase dimer protein: “The virus is made up of five types of protein, spike protein (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M) and hemagglutinin–esterase dimer protein (HE) and nucleocapsid protein (N) [6–8], which are bound to the RNA (Figure 2). The S, E, M and HE proteins are on the surface, while the genetic material causing the replication is inside the virion, pegged together with N-protein [9], and the entire genome is 26,000–32,000 bases long [10].”
The section has now been corrected to: “The virus is made up of four types of protein, spike protein (S), envelope protein (E), membrane protein (M) and nucleocapsid protein (N) [6–8], which are bound to the RNA (Figure 2). The S, E, M proteins are on the surface, while the genetic material causing the replication is inside the virion, pegged together with N-protein [9], and the entire genome is 26,000–32,000 bases long [10].”
