Novel coronavirus: Your questions, answered AskADoctor DailyHealthTips HealthcareMagic
When humans do become infected with a coronavirus, this typically happens via contact with an infected animal., although they do not typically transmit coronaviruses directly to humans. Instead, the transmission might occur via an “intermediary” animal, which will usually — though not always — be a domestic one.
In the case of the new coronavirus, initial reports from China tied the outbreak to a seafood market in central Wuhan. As a result, local authorities closed down the market on January 1.have since suggested that this market was unlikely to be the single source of the coronavirus outbreak, as some of the people infected with the virus had not been frequenting the market.
While it likely originated in animals, the transmission of the new coronavirus from person to person can occur, though some questions about its transmission remain unanswered.queries, “[r]esearchers are still studying the exact parameters of human-to-human transmission.” “As with other coronaviruses, the transmission is through the respiratory route, meaning the virus is concentrated in the airways and can pass to another person via droplets from their nose or mouth, for example. We still need more analysis of the epidemiological data to understand the full extent of this transmission and how people are infected.”
