Coronavirus

From Wikipedia:

“Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, the viruses cause respiratory infections – including the common cold – which are typically mild. Rarer forms such as SARS, MERS and the novel coronavirus causing the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak can be lethal.”

In this news tag, stories are most likely about the “Novel coronavirus” outbreak of 2019/2020 – the WHO called this specific strain of the virus Covid-19 on 11 February 2020.
