Coronavirus ( COVID 19)

What is coronavirus?  (COVID-19)

Coronavirus is the name of a family of viruses that have a crown-shaped structure.  The new coronavirus agent was discovered on 13th December, 2019 after cases registered in Wuhan, China.  It causes the disease called coronavirus (COVID-19). The first human coronaviruses were isolated for the first time in 1937. However, it was in 1965 that the virus was described as coronavirus, due to the profile under microscopy, looking like a crown. Most people become infected with common coronaviruses throughout their lives, with young children being more likely to become infected with the most common type of virus.
