Did you know?
Did you know that the coronavirus is not just one single virus, but actually a family of viruses? While the specific variant responsible for the ongoing global pandemic is commonly referred to as the "novel coronavirus" or "SARS-CoV-2," there are actually many other types of coronaviruses. Some of the known types include those that cause mild common colds in humans, while others can lead to severe illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Understanding the diverse range of coronavirus types helps scientists in their ongoing efforts to develop effective vaccines and treatments for various strains.
