SARS-CoV-2 mainly attacks the lungs at first and probably also, to a lesser extent, other organs expressing ACE2, such as the gastrointestinal system and the kidneys.
SARS-CoV-2 hushambulia sana mapafu mwanzoni na pengine pia hushambulia viungo vingine vinavyodhihirisha ACE2 japo kwa kiwango cha chini, kama vile mfumo wa matumbo ya gesi na figo.
