Middle East Respiratory Syndrome（中东呼吸综合征）, also known as the MERS virus, was first reported in the Middle East in 2012 and also causes respiratory problems, but those symptoms are much more severe. Three to four out of every 10 patients infected with MERS died, according to the CDC.cNb答案圈

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome（严重急性呼吸综合征）, also known as SARS, is the other coronavirus that can cause more severe symptoms.

Depending on the patient's age, the death rate with SARS ranged from 0-50% of the cases, with older people being the most vulnerable.cNb答案圈

How it spreadscNb答案圈

Viruses can spread from human contact with animals. Scientists think MERS started in camels, according to the WHO. With SARS, scientists suspected civet cats （狸猫） were to blame.cNb答案圈

When it comes to human-to-human transmission of the viruses, often it happens when someone comes into contact with the infected person's secretions（分泌物）.cNb答案圈

The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Caregivers （护理人员） can sometimes be exposed by handling a patient's waste, according to the CDC.cNb答案圈
