Definition
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a newly emergent coronavirus, that was first recognized in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that is contagious in humans. It is the successor to SARS-CoV-1, the strain that caused the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak.

The entire human population generally lacks immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and hence is susceptible to the novel virus.

Examples
When the immune response effectively limits but can not completely block SARS-CoV-2 replication, asymptomatic shedding occurs.

SARS-CoV-2 is deactivated by commonly used disinfectants such as alcohol or chlorine-based solutions.

Description
A year on, we've learnt a great deal about Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

Examples
A research article in Frontiers in Public Health explains: "It remains unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 will eventually become seasonal or will continue to circulate year-round." The experts say in Frontiers that "nearly every acute viral disease" hits during a "particular season". Coronavirus "will continue to spread in summer without public health interventions as witnessed in many countries around the world".

These highly potent functional antibodies are capable of neutralising not only all known variants of concerns (VOCs) linked to the current Sars-CoV-2 virus, but also other animal coronaviruses with the potential jump to humans.
