Coronaviruses are transmitted by respiratory secretion sprays, with different incubation periods estimated between 2 days and a week, after these 2 weeks, the virus is eliminated from the body. The virus replicates in the host cell, passing to the Golgi apparatus until they are finally released by exocytosis. In general, coronaviruses induce 15% of colds and flu, and their effect intensifies in winter and early spring.

Coronaviruses infect a large number of birds and mammals, particularly the SARS CoV-2-index-SARS-CoV-2; they are responsible for severe respiratory diseases, which can be spread even to babies; and in few cases, they are responsible for neurologic syndromes.

The virus remains in the upper respiratory tract and exhibits minimal immune response. Due to its mutation capacity, it persists in the invaded species.
