COVID-19 is a disease caused by a novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Coronaviruses often lead to the common cold, but infection with this strain of coronavirus has led to higher rates of complications such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and myocarditis. This outbreak has also seen a higher person-to-person transmission rate.
