In December 2019, a series of unexplained pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China. On January 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) temporarily named this new virus as the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). On February 11, the WHO officially named the disease caused by this virus as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 is an illness caused by a virus that is spread from person-to-person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a new coronavirus thought to be a mutation of a bat coronavirus and unknown coronavirus. Symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild (or no symptoms, also known as asymptomatic) to severe illness. You can become infected by coming into close contact (about 6 feet) with a person who is infected. You can become infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It is also possible to contract it by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure. The current death toll of COVID-19 is 980k worldwide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
