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.
