The causative agent of novel coronavirus pneumonia is a novel coronavirus. The novel coronavirus is a new type of coronavirus that has not been identified in the past. Current research has found that this virus is very similar to a coronavirus found in bats. More than 100 viruses are currently found in bats, so the variety of viruses they carry is very complex. However, if bats are consumed, they often have to be cooked and heated to kill the virus. The problem is that contact with bats before heating has the chance of being contaminated, and bites from bats or contact with bat blood may be contaminated, and there may be a chance of contracting the new coronavirus. Therefore, be careful to protect wildlife and do not eat bats. Content source: Dr. You Lai
