💨 Abstract

Chinese scientists have identified a new coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, in bats, similar to SARS-CoV-2. This virus can infect human cells using the ACE2 receptor, raising global concerns. The virus is closely linked with HKU1, first detected in a man in 2004, and is part of the beta coronavirus family.
