A new coronavirus, called 2019-nCoV, emerged from China in late 2019 and has since spread globally. Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. While anyone can be infected, older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions are more vulnerable to severe illness. There are currently no specific treatments, but symptoms can be managed.
