What is a Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses are a type of virus.

 

  • Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious respiratory infections like bronchitis, pneumonia or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
  • Coronaviruses are spread mainly from person to person through close contact, for example, in a household, workplace or health care centre.
  • Some human coronaviruses spread easily between people, while others do not.
  • Your risk of severe disease may be higher if you have a weakened immune system. This may be the case for:
    • older people
    • people with chronic disease (for example, diabetes, cancer, heart, renal or chronic lung disease)
