What kind of virus is the coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a group of common viruses named for the spikes that crown the surface of the virus. Some coronaviruses are only found in animals, while others can be transmitted from animals to humans. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus is believed to be initally passed from animals to humans, but is now transmitting human-to-human. Source: https://medlineplus.gov/coronavirusinfections.html
