What is the difference between Covid-19, Sars-CoV-2 and Corona?
Even if we continue to talk mostly about the corona virus – the official name for the Sars-like virus is: “Sars-CoV-2”. The novel lung disease caused by the virus also has its own name. This is: “Covid-19” and consists of “Corona Virus Disease” and the number of the year in which it first appeared.
Where does the corona virus come from?
Sars-Cov-2 first appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan (capital of Hubei Province). It is believed that the virus first spread to humans at an animal market in the city.
How do I protect myself from Corona?
Infection with the corona virus can be avoided by adhering to the hygiene rules. You should keep your distance from other people as far as possible, wear an FFP2 or another medical mask and ventilate the interior regularly.

It was important to the WHO when naming it that it was not stigmatizing. In the past, it was not uncommon to name diseases by country or region. Also in connection with Covid-19, the disease was referred to as “Wuhan Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus” (WRS-CoV) – similar to the Mers-Cov, i.e. the “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus”.
However, the WHO has agreed that the naming of human diseases should not have any unnecessary impact on trade and tourism, for example, and should not offend ethnic, social or other groups.
