It has been found that the new coronavirus comes from wild animals, but the specific wild animal has not been determined, and it is thought that the most likely is the Chinese daisy-headed bat. The virus belongs to the coronavirus family and is highly transmissible. Infection of humans can lead to significant respiratory symptoms, with fever as the main manifestation and possibly malaise, dry cough and dyspnea. Analysis of available epidemiological data has confirmed that the virus can be transmitted continuously from person to person, mainly through the respiratory tract and by contact. In addition, data suggest that fecal-oral transmission is also possible.
