Coronaviruses are a type of virus. There are many
different kinds, and some cause disease. A newly
identified type has caused a recent outbreak of
respiratory illness now called COVID-19 that
started in China.

COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, a city in China, in
December 2019. Although health officials are
still tracing the exact source of this new
coronavirus, early hypotheses thought it may be
linked to a seafood market in Wuhan, China. Some
people who visited the market developed viral
pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus. A study
that came out on Jan. 25, 2020, notes that the
individual with the first reported case became
ill on Dec. 1, 2019, and had no link to the
seafood market. Investigations are ongoing as to
how this virus originated and spread.

It appears that symptoms are showing up in people
within 14 days of exposure to the virus.
