What is NeoCov Coronavirus and Is It Dangerous for Humans?

News about a new variant of the coronavirus posing great threat to humans was circulating in the social media platforms since few days now, but is it entirely true? No. The World Health Organization in a statement clarified that whether the NeoCov reportedly found in bats poses serious threat to humans requires further research and study. The reports are based on Chinese research paper that are yet to be peer-reviewed.

The study which is yet to be peer-reviewed also said that the NeoCov is just one mutation away from posing a threat to humans. The virus is closely related to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome that was found in Saudi Arabia in 2012.

A doctor on his Twitter also called out the hype.
