1. The type of genome in coronavirus is ssRNA with a capsid made of matrix coat. The virus has a very small genome number when compared with the human genome. It has a genome size of approximately 30000 whereas humans have more than 3 billion.
2. The virus has protein spikes on its lipid surface that look for specific receptors on the host surface cells that they can bind to and allow them to inject their genome for the production of more viruses.
3. It immediately starts to use the cells machinery to replicate and produce more viruses before the host cell bursts open through lysis thus releasing more viruses
