What is nCoV?

The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. The 2019-nCoV has caused severe pneumonia in several cases in China and has been exported to a range of countries and cities.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization recommended that the interim name of the disease causing the current outbreak should be changed to “2019 novel coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease” or 2019-nCoV ARD.

Symptoms of nCoV

Common signs of coronavirus infection include flu-like and respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
