I-SARS-CoV-2isanenvelopedβ-coronavirus,circularorellipticalparticlediameterofabout60~140nm,imvamisa i-pleomorphic,ngokusobala yehlukile ku-SARS-CoVandMERS-CoVingenetic Characteristics.Izimpawu zomtholampilo eziyinhloko zibandakanya imfiva,ukukhathala nokunye nokunye. ,okungathuthuka ngokushesha kube inyumoniya enkulu, ukwehluleka ukuphefumula, i-acuterespiratorydistresssyndrome, ukushaqeka kwe-septic, ukwehluleka kwezitho eziningi, ukugula okunamandla kwe-acid-basemetabolism, kanye nokubeka impilo engcupheni .I-SARS-CoV-2ihlonze njengezindlela zokudluliselwa ngamaconsi okuphefumula (ukuthimula, ukukhwehlela, njll.) kanye nokuxhumana (ukucosha isandla esithintene negciwane, ukuhlikihla, njll.). I-SARS-CoV-2ingezwani nokushisa kwe-ultravioletray, kanye ne-canbenomi66nokushisa kwe-ultraviolet, kanye ne-canbene60 ne-canbe6. i-thylether, i-ethanol engu-75%, isibulala-magciwane se-chlorine, i-peraceticacid ne-chloroform.
