Coronavirus
is the family name for a group of common viruses which are found all over the
world. Typical symptoms include fever and a cough but may progress to a severe
pneumonia causing shortness of breath and breathing difficulties, making a
coronavirus dangerous if left untreated.
The Novel
Coronavirus is a new strain of the virus which has not previously been found in
humans. Though it was first identified in Wuhan City, China, there have been a

UK.
We want all

encounter someone with the virus.
