The Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reports that Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by a recently discovered virus from the coronavirus group. It is a group of viruses found in both animals and humans. In humans, coronavirus infections are recorded throughout the year, especially in autumn and winter.
Human bodies respond to coronaviruses in a variety of ways, from mild respiratory illnesses to serious complications (pneumonia, kidney failure) and even death. To date, serious cases have been caused by the SARS and MERS coronaviruses. The SARS reservoir in nature (source of infection) is civets and, possibly, bats. The MERS reservoir is dromedary camels.
