A new coronavirus (ncov) is a new strain not previously found in humans. Coronaviruses are zoonoses, which means they spread between animals and people. Detailed investigation found that SARS CoV was transmitted from civet cat to human, and mers cov was transmitted from single humped camel to human. Several known coronaviruses are spreading in animals that have not yet infected humans. Common symptoms of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and dyspnea. In more severe cases, infection can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, renal failure, and even death.

Avoid close contact with anyone with respiratory symptoms, etc.
