What is this virus?
Coronaviruses are a
large family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to
severe chronic respiratory diseases.
However, the new
outbreak of coronavirus (nCoV) has not previously been known to affect people.
Coronaviruses are transmitted
from animals to humans. Detailed
investigations have previously revealed that SARS-CoV viruses and MERS-CoV
camels have been transmitted to humans worldwide. Several coronaviruses that have not yet been
infected with humans have been identified as circulating in animals.
A person infected
with such a virus can develop symptoms such as respiratory illnesses, fever,
coughing, shortness of breath and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, pneumonia, severe
chronic respiratory disease, kidney failure, and even death may occur.
What are the symptoms
of neonatal coronavirus?
The new coronavirus,
known as Kovid-19, is a respiratory illness.
It starts with a fever and then develops into a dry cough. After a week, you may have difficulty breathing,
and some patients may require hospitalization.

Just because you have
these symptoms does not mean you are infected with coronavirus. These symptoms are similar to other common
viral infections, such as the flu and the common cold.
Other than the worst,
coronavirus infection can lead to pneumonia, sarcasm, organs failure, and even
death. Worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a global
epidemic, transmitting from person to person in many parts of the world
simultaneously as a coronavirus infection.

to show symptoms?

symptoms from the time it was infected.
