The World Health Organisation (WHO) has acknowledged the virus and alarmed emergency in China. However, the impact of the virus also spotted in India (Kerala and Mumbai).
The reports have claimed that coronavirus is transmitted to humans from snakes. People who suffered from the virus will cause pneumonia.
Some reports suggested that snakes have contracted the virus from bats in a seafood market where both the species sold before January 1.
