In general, is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections taht can be mild or severe. Severe cases are those like SARS and MERS. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.
Newest strain of this virus is COVID-19 or long form, 'coronavirus disease 2019'. The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette.
