Virus that keeps you at home
Abstract
This work presents a simple overview of what viruses are and an explanation of why they can cause damage to host cells. Likewise, the generalities of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are established, which belongs to the RNA viruses; at the start of 2020, this virus has alerted the entire world for its high morbidity; this causes the disease called COVID-19. In particular, the stages of the infection process of the new coronavirus within an organism are described.
