Did you know?
Did you know that coronavirus and rhinovirus are not the same? While both are types of viruses that can cause respiratory infections, they belong to different virus families. Rhinovirus is primarily responsible for the common cold, with symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat. On the other hand, coronavirus is a much broader term that includes various strains like the common cold, as well as more severe illnesses such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The recent outbreak of COVID-19 is caused by a specific strain of coronavirus. Though similar in some ways, it's important to understand the distinctions between these viruses for improved prevention and treatment strategies.
