Chinese scientists discover a new bat coronavirus that can infect humans

Chinese researchers have identified a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which binds to the same receptor as the COVID-19 virus.

The discovery of HKU5-CoV-2 has raised questions about the potential for another pandemic.

The study serves as a reminder that emerging viruses continue to pose a threat, and global health monitoring remains crucial.

Scientists urge continued research and surveillance to prevent another pandemic and ensure preparedness for any future outbreaks.
