COVID or the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is an emerging virus belonging to the Coronavirus (CoV) family. This is a large family, which can cause a wide range of illnesses in humans: from mild common colds to deadly respiratory tract syndromes – Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

The information about this virus is now still limited. Scientists have been intensively studying since the first outbreak was reported. Recent studies suggest that 2019-nCoV belongs to the classification Betacoronavirus, which has been found to be genetically related to SARS CoV with a resemblance of 80%. Regarding its virulence and contagiousness – some experts say that, unlike SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, the COVID-19 Virus ‘seems’ to be more contagious but less virulent than SARS.

There are many different varieties of coronavirus that affect animals, and up to six that can affect humans.
Each coronavirus strain causes very different diseases, and severity of symptoms. Some diseases caused by members of the coronavirus family may cause their hosts to have mild symptoms that make them feel unwell but given time make a full recovery, such as the coronavirus strain that causes the common cold in humans. Other strains of coronavirus will cause species specific disease, such as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea virus (PEDv) in pigs or Avian Infectious Bronchitis (IB) in chickens.
However, whilst all of these varieties belong to the same family only one of them causes the current global pandemic disease, COVID-19, affecting humans, and that is the SARS-CoV-2 strain of coronavirus.
