    Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illness in humans and animals. They were first discovered in the 1960s and get their name from their crown-like appearance. While many strains only affect animals, some coronaviruses can evolve to infect humans, causing respiratory illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like SARS and MERS. Most human infections result in mild symptoms, but coronaviruses are believed to be a common cause of colds worldwide.

    cold to more severe diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
    (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV).
