Corona Virus Live Update
The Ministry of Health launches the Coronavirus-SUS app with
the objective of raising awareness about the Corona Virus COVID-19, for which
the application has the following features:
Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause
diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract
infections that can be mild, such as some cases of the common cold (among other
possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), and others that can be lethal, such
as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they
cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause
diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat
human coronavirus infections.
Coronaviruses constitute the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae,
in the family Coronaviridae, order Nidovirales, and realm Riboviria. They are
enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and a
nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. The genome size of coronaviruses ranges from
approximately 27 to 34 kilobases, the largest among known RNA viruses.
The name
coronavirus is derived from the Latin corona, meaning "crown" or
"halo", which refers to the characteristic appearance reminiscent of
a crown or a solar corona around the virions (virus particles) when viewed
under two-dimensional transmission electron microscopy, due to the surface
covering in club-shaped protein spikes.
