2019新冠病毒将拥有正式名字

▍原文

It has infected thousands of people, closed borders and put parts of China into lockdown. But the virus causing the outbreak of illness does not yet have a proper name.

It has been referred to as the coronavirus. But that is the name of the group of viruses it belongs to.

A group of scientists has been grappling behind closed doors to find a proper term. Now they have told the BBC they are close to announcing it.
