An award-winning illustrated book explaining viruses, coronaviruses, COVID-19, and other topics. In November 2019, scientists discovered a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. By March 2020, the virus and the disease it causes (COVID-19), spread to countries around the world. In an effort to contain the spread, global leaders implemented public health measures to protect citizens and manage their health systems. Some people followed the recommended public health guidance to stay indoors and practice social distancing while some were less inclined. Meanwhile, scientists worked frantically to understand the virus and develop vaccines to protect everyone. But, the virus continues to spread and mutate, challenging the boundaries of public health measures and science. In this book, author Persad teams up with Dr. de Mello and Dr. Giongo, virologists with over twenty years' experience in virology research, to answer important questions about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19. What are viruses? How do viruses change? Where did SARS-CoV-2 come from? How does SARS-CoV-2 infect the cells? What happens when a person develops COVID-19? What are scientist doing to help? How can people stay safe?
