## Summary

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic[1]. It belongs to a group or class of strains within the coronavirus family[1].The virus was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly spread globally[1]. SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by its ability to mutate, leading to the emergence of multiple variants over time[1].
