Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),[2][3] previously known by the provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV),[4][5][6] is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus.[7][8] It is contagious in humans and is the cause of the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that has been designated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO)

Because the strain was first discovered in Wuhan, China, it has sometimes been referred to as the Wuhan virus or Wuhan coronavirus,[16][17][18][19] although the World Health Organization (WHO) discourages the use of names based upon locations.[20] To avoid confusion with the disease SARS, the WHO sometimes refers to the virus as the virus responsible for COVID-19 or the COVID-19 virus in public health communications.[21] Both the virus and the disease are often called coronavirus by the general public, but scientists and most journalists typically use more precise terms.[22]
