Covid-19

Category: Academics

The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of the infectious disease known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). December 2019 saw the identification of the first case in history in Wuhan, China. The majority of experts think that, like the SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV outbreaks, the SARS-CoV-2 virus entered human populations naturally through zoonosis, which is consistent with previous pandemics in human history. Zoonotic spillover was made more likely by social and environmental variables like wildlife commerce, natural habitat damage, and climate change. Rapid global spread of the illness led to the COVID-19 pandemic.
