Although the new coronavirus and SARS belong to the same coronavirus, there are major differences.
First of all, their transmission characteristics are different. After SARS infection, a series of symptoms such as pneumonia and high fever will appear, and at this time, the patient is highly infectious. In contrast, infection with the new coronavirus does not necessarily show more obvious symptoms, but at this time the infected person already has the ability to infect others.
Secondly, the difference in treatment is that SARS requires hormone treatment, so most SARS patients are cured and will be left with the sequelae of SARS. The treatment of novel coronavirus does not require a lot of hormones, so there will not be more sequelae.
