A new virus like COVID-19 found in bats in China, will the pandemic come again?

A team of scientists in China has discovered a new strain of the coronavirus. This new virus has been found in bats and scientists have named it HKU5-CoV-2. According to scientists, this new virus can easily infect humans.

According to the information received, the team of senior scientist Shi Zhengli has discovered this virus. With the discovery of the new virus, the risk of another disease spreading from animals to humans is being expressed and there is an atmosphere of fear among the people hearing this news.

According to the South China Morning Post report, during the research, researchers found that the HKU5-CoV-2 virus can bind to the ACE2 receptor in the human body. Let us tell you that this is the same receptor through which the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spreads COVID-19 enters the human body.

Will any major disease spread again:

Due to similar behavior to the COVID-19 virus, it is now feared that HKU5-CoV-2 can spread the infection again and a new disease can be born. However, more research is needed to get the correct information about the virus.

According to the report published in Newsweek, this new virus is capable of attaching to the ACE2 receptor in the human body very easily. Tests conducted in the lab found that the new virus can spread infection in human cells and different parts of the body.

However, scientists have not yet estimated how fast the infection can spread due to the new virus HKU5-CoV-2 or whether this virus will pose a risk of a major disease immediately or after some time.
