Scientists have discovered a new coronavirus in bats in China. The virus, called "Khosta-2",

is similar to the SARS-CoV-2 that causes Covid-19.

However, Khosta-2 does not appear to be able to infect humans.

It is important to note that these are just a few examples of the new bat viruses that scientists are discovering.

There are many other bat viruses that are still unknown, and it is possible that new bat viruses will be discovered in the future.

The coronavirus in China is a major public health issue. The virus, called SARS-CoV-2, was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019.

Since then, the virus has spread to over 200 countries and territories, and has caused over 6 million deaths.
