Coronaviruses are about a hundred times smaller than the average cell. They’re so small that scientists need a special microscope to spot them. These viruses invade cells, replicate and form armies of new viruses that infect other cells to cause illnesses such as COVID-19. Johns Hopkins researchers are learning more about how coronaviruses work to assemble new viruses inside their host cells. Research on the fundamentals of coronaviruses may help scientists develop new ways to stop the virus’ vi
