Infection with a novel coronavirus leads to novel pneumonia, which is a new coronavirus that has not been identified in the past. The virus is universally susceptible, but older, weaker, less resistant people and some people with underlying diseases are more susceptible to the virus. Infection with the new coronavirus often presents with respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and difficulty in breathing. In severe cases, the disease can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.
