ARS-CoV-2 is classified within the genus Betacoronavirus.
On rare occasions, coronaviruses
from other mammals can mutate and infect humans
and then spread from one person to another,
as has happened with the Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS) that first appeared in November
2002 in the province of Canton (China) and
the Middle East Coronavirus Respiratory Syndrome
(MERS) that was first identified in 2012 in Saudi
Arabia.

to betacoronaviruses found in bats, but they
are genetically distinct from other coronaviruses
such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV
