mhm coronavirus. Facts for kids. Yeah, what is coronavirus? A coronavirus is a type of virus. Coronavirus, or covid. 19 is a new strain of coronavirus, which means no one has caught it before, and our bodies are not immune or protected from it. Yet it spreads very quickly and is making a lot of people poorly at the moment. How does the virus work? Your body is made up of millions of tiny cells.
