Answer:
COVID-19 is a serious global infectious disease outbreak with more than 110,000 cases and over 4,000 deaths worldwide. The COVID-19 virus is part of a family of viruses called coronaviruses that infect both animals and people. This particular one originated in China at the end of 2019, in a city called Wuhan, which has 11 million residents. In the past two decades coronavirus outbreaks have caused global concern including one in 2003 with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and more recently in 2012 with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
COVID-19 can cause symptoms very similar to the flu – fever and a dry cough (the two most common symptoms), fatigue, aches and pains, and nasal congestion. People who have a fever, cough or are finding it difficult to breathe should consult a doctor. Severe cases can lead to serious respiratory disease, and even pneumonia. Those most at risk are the elderly, or people with underlying medical issues, such as heart problems or diabetes. At the time of writing, 14.8% of people over 80 years old, infected with the virus, have died from it, compared with 0.4% in people aged 40-49% and none in children under 9 years.
