cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several
coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections
ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such
as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently
discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.

Origin of Corona Virus
It is believed to have zoonotic origins and has
close genetic similarity to bat coronaviruses,
suggesting it emerged from a bat-borne virus. There
is no evidence yet to link an intermediate animal
reservoir, such as a pangolin, to its introduction to
humans.
