Corona Virus Effects over the Human Body

Abstract

Coronaviruses typically affect the respiratory system, causing symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath. Some people, including older adults, are at risk of severe illness from these viruses. Coronaviruses are present in many species of animals, such as camels and bats. Mutations of the virus can infect humans. Previous outbreaks of diseases that coronaviruses have caused in humans have been severe. They typically spread rapidly and can cause death in some people. One example is severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which caused a pandemic in 2002. There were around 8,439 cases and 812 deaths as a result of the virus. The outbreak of the disease known as COVID-19 is the result of the novel coronavirus, now renamed SARS-CoV-2 that has spread rapidly across many parts of the world [1-3].
