Common signs of infection of the new coronavirus include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties.
The risk of contracting the disease in the U.S. remains low, but if you’re worried there are simple steps to take.
Wash your hands, avoid touching your face, and avoid people who are coughing or sneezing.

What is the coronavirus?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source, “coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals.”

The CDC says that rarely does the animal coronavirus infect people.

However, this most current strain is a new respiratory virus that was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, which has been infecting people.

The World Health OrganizationTrusted Source says that common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. Rarer, more severe cases can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and in the most extreme, death.

Symptoms may appear in as few as 2 days, or as long as 14, after exposure.

Like previous coronaviruses, this particular virus likely emerged from an animal source, though experts aren’t sure which one as of yet.

Now the virus is being spread from person to person. Typically coronavirus infections are a transmissible person to person only once someone infected is showing symptoms, however, the Chinese health minister is indicating that this particular strain may be infectious when people aren’t yet sick.
