Novel coronavirus pneumonia victims worldwide have reached 3.11 million, but there is no specific drug or vaccine for humans to deal with it.

Starting in the fall of 2016 and continuing into 2018, researchers at Columbia University in Manhattan began collecting nasal swabs from 191 children, teachers, and emergency workers, asking them to record when they sneezed or had sore throats. The point was to create a map of common respiratory viruses and their symptoms, and how long people who recovered stayed immune to each one.

Cutting off the pathway of transmission of the virus is one of the key preventions and control measures for novel coronavirus pneumonia. Droplet and contact transmission have been shown to be the main routes of transmission of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and little is known about its aerosol route of transmission.

April 27, China National Biotec Group Company (CNBG) announced that the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine developed by CNBG Beijing Bioproducts Research Institute was approved for clinical trials by the State Food and Drug Administration, and the clinical trial was officially launched in Henan on April 28.

The development and production of a vaccine have become a global race until a way is found to end the new coronavirus epidemic.

A vaccine for high-risk groups such as health care workers could be available as early as this year, faster than initially thought, according to a global group central to the development of a new coronavirus vaccine.

New coronavirus (COVID-19) detection technology and data from Beijing-based Huiyi Huiying are being sold online by hackers for 4 bitcoins.

Most young people who get Covid-19 get pretty nasty flu-like symptoms but fight off the infection on their own with bed rest and over-the-counter pain medication.

As we move into the hot summer months in the northern hemisphere, it raises a question worth considering: can mosquitoes transmit one person's novel coronavirus to another?

The new coronavirus vaccine is highly anticipated as the ultimate weapon against the current epidemic. How is the development of a new coronavirus vaccine in China progressing? Is safety assured? When will it be operational?
