CoV-2, which can enter human cells using the same gateway as the highly contagious SAR-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. However, researchers say the newly discovered germ is much less capable of rapi

Researchers have discovered a virus that could enter human cells in a similar way to COVID-19. But they caution it's much more poorly adapted to humans.

CoV-2, discovered in China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, raises concerns due to its potential to infect human cells like SARS-CoV-2. However, experts say it poses no major public health threat as its ability to spread among humans is significantly weaker.

HKU5-CoV-2, a new deadly bat virus discovered at Wuhan lab, sparks global pandemic fears. Experts urge vigilance, research, and global cooperation to prevent outbreaks.

Scientists also discovered that HKU5-CoV-2 might infect human cells as well as small lung or gut tissues cultured in a lab.

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China said they discovered a new coronavirus in bats that enters cells using the same gateway as the virus that causes Covid-19.

China has discovered a new coronavirus in bats that can enter the human body like Covid-19. The new virus, HKU5-CoV, hasn't been detected in humans yet but has been identified in a laboratory

Covid-19 like new bat virus HKU5-CoV hasn’t been detected in humans yet. It has only been identified in a laboratory.

The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns of another pandemic. The virus, HKU5-CoV-2, is similar to to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

A team of Chinese researchers has discovered a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which has the potential to infect human cells. The virus, linked to the same family as MERS, was found to bind to human ACE2 receptors,

Chinese scientists have discovered a new coronavirus in bats called HKU5-CoV-2. It shares similarities with SARS-CoV-2 and can infect human cells. Researchers are investigating its potential to spill over to humans.
