According to scientists, the coronavirus enters humans through the nose and mouth. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the small saliva coming out of the nose and mouth quickly spreads the coronavirus. The coronavirus can enter the body if you touch your face without washing with soap and water by touching the infected person's skin or the surface touched by the infected person. The virus first attacks the cells of the throat, trachea and lungs. Gradually taking control of those organs and increasing their number can have a serious impact.
