Since January, when the World Health Organization (WHO)
announced
that it had identified a new virus and declared its outbreak a public health emergency of international concern,
COVID-19
has dominated headlines—and our daily lives.
There is much we have learned about the novel coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, since then—and much public health experts continue to untangle about the virus seemingly every day.
Is it mutating ? Does warmer weather have any impact on its spread? Are men and women getting sick in the same way?
Researchers around the world, including those at Johnson & Johnson, are exploring some of these questions as they work hard on identifying investigational vaccine candidates.
