Coronavirus, also known as Covid-19, has spread to 16 countries around the world.

The virus, which causes serious lung disease in humans - previously unknown to scientists - has spread from China.

What is the virus?

Coronavirus is a contagious virus that has never spread to humans before.

The virus has killed more than a million people worldwide. And the number of global identities is more than 3.2 million. (Data updated September 29, 2020)

Another name for the virus is 2019 - NCOV or Novel Coronavirus. It is a type of coronavirus. There are many species of coronavirus, but only six species can be transmitted to humans. However, due to the new type of virus, that number will be seven from now on.

What are the symptoms of the disease:

In addition to respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, and respiratory problems are the main symptoms.

It attacks the lungs.

Symptoms usually begin with a dry cough and fever, followed by respiratory problems.

It usually takes an average of five days for the symptoms to manifest.

The World Health Organization says the incubation period of the virus lasts up to 14 days. However, according to some researchers, it can last up to 24 days.

When people show symptoms of the virus, more people are more likely to be infected. However, the idea is that people can infect healthy people even when they are not sick.

Since the early symptoms are similar to those of the common cold and flu, it is normal to be hesitant to diagnose.

The outbreak of the coronavirus reminds many of the SARS virus, which in early 2000 killed 74 people, mainly in many Asian countries.

Analysis of the genetic code of the new virus has shown that it is very similar to the SARS virus.

"When we see a new coronavirus, we want to know how serious the symptoms are. The virus is a lot like the flu but not as deadly as the SARS virus," said Mark Ulhaus, a professor at the University of Edinburgh.

Where did the coronavirus come from?

Many times new viruses come from an animal and start to settle in the human body.

The World Health Organization's idea is that the source of the latest virus is an animal.

As far as is known, the incident took place at a market where marine fish is sold wholesale in the city of Wuhan, China.

The coronavirus virus is in the family, but the six viruses that were previously known are now new to humans.
