What causes COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a type of coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. The virus is transmitted from person to person through tiny droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. People can also become infected by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own face. Currently, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for COVID-19, but there are some treatments that can help with the symptoms.
