SARS-CoV-2 (engleski: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, u prevodu: teški akutni respiratorni sindrom koronavirus 2) jest zarazni virus koji uzrokuje COVID-19 akutnu respiratornu bolest.[1] Virus je uzrok epidemije novog koronavirusa. Genomsko sekvenciranje je pokazalo da je to pozitivni, jedno-lančani RNK koronavirus i sadrži 29.903 nukleotida.[2]
Mnogi rani slučajevi bili su povezani sa velikom pijacom morskih plodova i životinja u Wuhanu, a smatra se da virus ima životinjsko porijeklo. Redanjem genetskih sekvenci ovog virusa i drugih uzoraka virusa pokazala su sličnost sa SARS-CoV (79,5%) i koronavirusom šišmiša (96%).[3] Zbog toga se smatra da porijeklo virusa vjerovatno dolazi od šišmiša,[4][5] iako porijeklo od ljuskavaca (pangolini) nije isključeno.[6]
Kako bi se izbjegla zabuna s bolešću SARS, Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija u svojim javnim istupima naziva virus kao "virus koji je izazvao bolest COVID-19".[7]

From a risk communications perspective, using the name SARS can have unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations.... For that reason and others, WHO has begun referring to the virus as “the virus responsible for COVID-19” or “the COVID-19 virus” when communicating with the public. Neither of these designations are [sic] intended as replacements for the official name of the virus as agreed by the ICTV.
