Coronavirus
Coronavirus refers to a class of viruses that cause conditions such as the common cold, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). In late 2019, a novel (new) coronavirus type named SARS-CoV-2 spread across the world, causing the COVID-19 respiratory illness pandemic.
