What are coronaviruses? Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. They are a group of viruses
that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract
infections.
The new coronavirus. At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China.
This type of coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is believed
that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Some of the first cases were diagnosed
in people who had visited a market selling live seafood and animals. Unfortunately, when viruses
are transmitted from animals to people it can take scientists a lot of time before they can develop
a vaccine or medicines to cure it.
How does the virus spread? The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The
transmission occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected person. For example, a cough,
a sneeze or a handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused by coming into
contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
