World Health Organization Names The New Coronavirus: Covid-19 by GeeMeshin1(m): 6:05pm On Feb 11, 2020
The new coronavirus now has a name: Covid-19.

The CO stands for corona, the VI for virus and the D for disease.

WHO officials wanted a name that doesn't refer to a geographical location, animals, an individual or a group of people.
