| | A '''coronavirus''' is any of several viruses affecting either animals or humans, and named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the viral cell. Coronaviruses affect the upper-respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from mild to severe, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Several strains, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19, the late-2019 outbreak in Wuhan, China, have been confirmed to be fatal. | | A '''coronavirus''' is any of several viruses affecting either animals or humans, and named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the viral cell.
