Crown-shaped (Latin corona meaning crown) virus is called corona virus. SARS, MERS, swine flu, influenza viruses are corona viruses. With this, a new type of novel (corona virus) has spread, which has been named as novel corona virus, NCOV for short. The number of corona virus species is about seven.
Novel corona virus is an RNA virus, round in shape, about 400 nm in diameter. It has numerous spikes all over its body which are made up of proteins. Its spike protein binds to human body cell proteins to enter the cell and rapidly increases the number of cells in the DNA.
The disease caused by it is called COVID-19 [Corona to CO, Virus to VI and Disease to D, Infectious Year 2019].
