Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.
TRANSMISSION
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are
transmitted between animals and people. They are circulating in animals and
some of these coronaviruses have the capability of transmitting between animals
and humans. It is most likely transmitted through coughing and sneezing, as is
the case with influenza and other respiratory viruses, said Dr. Vaishampayan.
Coronaviruses can spread in the following
ways: Coughing and sneezing without covering the mouth can disperse droplets into
the air, spreading the virus. Touching or shaking hands with a person that has
the virus can pass the virus from one person to another. Making contact with a
surface or object that has the virus and then touching your nose, eyes or mouth.
Researchers found that 22 percent had direct exposure to the meat market, and
32 percent had contact with people who had a fever or respiratory disease.
