COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has since spread to affect people in many countries around the world.
The exact cause of the COVID-19 pandemic is not fully understood, but it is thought to have originated from a bat species and may have been transmitted to humans through an intermediate animal host, possibly at a wet market in Wuhan.
COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It can also be transmitted by touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated with the virus and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.
COVID-19 can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and body aches. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and even death.
