#CovideLikeBatVirus | Researchers at Wuhan Institute of Virology have discovered a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which enters cells using the same ACE2 receptor as COVID-19. This virus hasn’t been detected in humans but shares key features with SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV, including a furin cleavage site that enhances cell entry.
