Scientists are still working to unravel the mystery of which organs and parts of the body the new coronavirus can be present in and which routes of transmission are in addition to droplet and contact transmission.

New study finds that novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 may be the result of recombination of pangolin coronavirus and bat coronavirus.

Researchers isolated novel coronavirus strains from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from 11 patients diagnosed with novel coronavirus pneumonia in China, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Spain, and 11 samples containing novel coronavirus strains were widely distributed on a phylogenetic tree composed of all available gene sequences.

When some people become infected with the coronavirus, they only develop mild or undetectable cases of COVID-19. Others suffer severe symptoms, fighting to breathe on a ventilator for weeks, if they survive at all.

Recently, a study showed that even after the novel coronavirus in the nasal cavity of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia was removed, the virus remained in the eyes of the patients and was infectious.

In the continued absence of "potent drugs", the "competition" for vaccine development of new coronavirus vaccines continues to accelerate.

We now know that the main route of transmission of the new coronavirus is through airborne transmission. Droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes can carry the virus.

Scientists have found that many of those who die from the new coronavirus appear to be harmed more by the autoimmune system than by the virus itself.

Liquiritin inhibits replication of novel coronaviruses, the latest research from a team of researchers at Peking University found.

A team including the Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London, UK, and the NIHR Centre for Biomedical Research recently made a new observation: genetic factors play a role in half of the individual differences observed in the main symptoms of Covid-19.
