        SEVERE SYMPTOMS:
        pneumonia, kidney failure, death
        
        The mortality rate is not known yet
    - - It was first identified in China,
        in a group of people, in the city
        of Wuhan, with pneumonia
        
        The disease has since spreaded from
        the ones who were sick to their
        family and the health care staff
        
        The disease has spread
        within China and also in
        many other countries
      - WHERE DID IT COME FROME
        
        Scientists know that
        Coronaviruses circulate in a
        range of animals.
        The virus
        can "jump" from animals to humans.
        This is called "spillover"
        
        The "spillover" can be caused by mutation or increase contact between humans and animals
        
        HOW DOES IT SPREADS
        
        It's not known how does it spread exactly.
        Usually it's transmitted through droplets created when someone coughs or sneezes or through something contaminated
        
        DIAGNOSIS &
        TREATMENTS
        
        The infection can be
        diagnosed by a PCR test
        (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
        
        There's no medication for the virus
        and treatment is supportive care.
        
        There's no vaccine to protect
        humans from the virus
