Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is now a pandemic affecting many countries globally.
We would like to examine its structure and know how the coronavirus invades the cell and damages it.
