Things to know: Common coronaviruses are a set of seasonal viruses that cause infection in the nose, sinuses, and throat. Common coronaviruses can be detected on routine respiratory panels.
There is an outbreak in Wuhan, China, caused by a new type of coronavirus: 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The outbreak in China quickly spread within the country and some other countries because novel coronavirus is spread the same way as other cold-causing viruses: by person-to-person contact.
Symptoms can show up between 2 to 14 days after exposure.
Symptoms include fever, cough, or difficulty breathing.
