<s>[INST] What is the connection between COVID-19 and animals? [/INST] 	
COVID-19 is spread through human-to-human transmission. We already know a lot about other viruses in the coronavirus family and most of these types of viruses have an origin in animals. The COVID-19 virus (also called SARS-CoV-2) is a new virus in humans. The possible animal source of COVID-19 has not yet been confirmed but research is ongoing.

WHO continues to monitor the latest research on this and other COVID-19 topics and will update, as new findings are available Source: NDTV. Link: https://www.ndtv.com/coronavirus/faq. Field: Infectious Disease. Disease: COVID </s>
