A group of Chinese scientists under the leadership of the virologist Shi Zhengley, who became known thanks to their work on coronaviruses in the laboratory in Jun, discovered a new coronavirus in bats. He can potentially be contrast to a person, writes South China Morning Post with reference to the results of a study by scientists from the Academy of Sciences Guangzhou, the University of Up and the Utan Institute of Virology.
The new virus is called HKU5-COV-2. According to scientists, they found that the virus isolated from the samples of bats can infect human cells. At the same time, HKU5-COV-2 "can have a wider circle of hosts and a higher potential for interspecific infection."
At the same time, scientists emphasize that so far there is no reason for panic. The effectiveness of the new virus is much lower than that of Covid-19, but experts insist on a “more thorough study”. According to them, the risk of a new virus in human populations should not be exaggerated.
