Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can be mild, such as some cases of the common cold (among other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), and others that can be lethal, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.

Coronavirus is an infectious disease with no vaccine or specific cure till date. The name is derived from Coronaviridae which are single-stranded RNA viruses. The name in short is Covid-19 which includes the year 2019 when it was first discovered. The virus is said to have originally spread from bats to man at Wuhan in China. Coronavirus infects the respiratory system and and rapidly destroys the lungs. Hence, a patient suffers much from difficulty in breathing and needs a respiratory machine.
The most common symptoms of coronavirus disease are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. A person with any of the symptoms must wear a mask and avoid closeness or contact with anyone to prevent infecting other people and go immediately to a hospital for test and treatment.
