The Coronavirus is a group of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. Most people are exposed to coronaviruses when they are young, and our immune systems fight the infection. In some individuals, however, coronaviruses can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronaviruses are the most common cause of respiratory illness in humans around the globe. The WHO estimates that there are about 221 million cases of human coronavirus infection each year. Most people have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, such as a runny nose, cough, or fever, but some people may develop a more serious condition, such as bronchitis or pneumonia. People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, are at a higher risk of more serious symptoms.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has now declared a public health emergency of international concern due to the number of coronavirus cases in China.
