What is Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a
large family of viruses that
cause illness ranging from
the common cold to more
severe diseases such as
Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and
Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS-CoV) . A
novel coronavirus
(nCoV) is a new strain that
has not been previously
identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are
zoonotic, meaning they
are transmitted between
animals and people.
Detailed investigations
found that SARS-CoV was
transmitted from civet
cats to humans and MERS-
CoV from dromedary
camels to humans. Several
known coronaviruses are
circulating in animals that
have not yet infected
humans.
Common signs of
infection include
respiratory symptoms,
fever, cough, shortness of
breath and breathing
difficulties. In more severe
cases, infection can cause
pneumonia, severe acute
respiratory syndrome,
kidney failure and even
death.
Standard
recommendations to
prevent infection spread
include regular hand
washing, covering mouth
and nose when coughing
and sneezing, thoroughly
cooking meat and eggs.
Avoid close contact with
anyone showing
symptoms of respiratory
illness such as coughing
and sneezing.

Be safe from that symptoms.
