The place is a food market where seafood is sold. It has been found out that the coronavirus spread from bats to some other animals and from other animals to humans. It took about a week to recognize the coronavirus.
Symptoms of coronavirus
The coronavirus can start with minor coughing, headache, fever, or all of these. This slowly leads to respiratory problems. The symptoms include symptoms of the common cold but are not cured by the common cold medication. The severity increases to kidney failure and finally death if not treated on time.
Transmission
The coronavirus can be very easily transmitted from one person to another. Some scientists have confirmed can it can also be transmitted from a pregnant mother to an unborn child. The coronavirus usually spreads through the particles of cough and sneeze from the patient to another person. When the other person comes in contact with these particles, then he becomes a patient too.
Dangers of virus
Coronavirus is not a deadly virus in itself if it is treated before it spreads a lot. As soon as a patient comes to know about the coronavirus, he should start getting treatment for it. If not treated on time, it can spread to different body parts and ultimately cause the death of the infected person.

Just when you feel like someone around you is getting the symptoms of common cold and coughs, make sure to take them to the doctor not for cold or flu but get them tested for the coronavirus. If the results turn out to be positive, the treatment should be started at that very moment and the patient should be quarantined. If the treatment is right, then the patient will recover very quickly.
