COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, was first introduced to humans through zoonosis (transmission of a pathogen to a human from an animal), and a zoonotic spillover event is the origin of COVID-19 that is considered most plausible by the scientific community. [a] Human coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 are zoonotic ...
