What Is a Coronavirus? How Does a Vrus Work?

This type of virus can affect both animals and humans and causes diseases in the respiratory system Coronavirus in Spain: Last-minute, life Coronaviruses   are a type of virus. They are so named because their surface is covered by a series of proteins that, seen under a microscope, seem to create a crown around them. This family of viruses was discovered during the 1960s. Most affect only animals, although some coronaviruses can be passed from animals to people through a process known as zoonotic transmission. Coronaviruses  affect the respiratory system, causing lung problems and difficulty breathing. Some only cause a cold with mild symptoms, while others can cause pneumonia and more serious infections, and even death. There are many kinds of coronaviruses. Scientists have detected up to seven types of coronaviruses that can infect humans. MERS and SARS In addition to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease, the World Health Or

Confirm How Long Coronavirus Lives On Surfaces

Researchers from the United States determined that it can stay up to three days on plastic and stainless steel. The importance of disinfection. Disinfecting surfaces is another important strategy to curb the coronavirus and a new study will confirm this. Research by the National Institutes of Health and several American universities such as the University of California Los Angeles and Princeton University evaluated how long the virus survives in different materials. Coronavirus The researchers found that the virus can live for two to three days on plastic and stainless steel surfaces. In others, such as cardboard, up to 24 hours. In copper, less: four. And it was also detectable in aerosols in up to three hours. These results provide key information about the stability of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus , which causes COVID-19 , and also how people can get it from the air and from touching contaminated objects. And it also allowed scientists to compare this coronavir
