The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19
Should we be wearing masks? Is it possible to catch the virus from a dog? What’s the purpose of a quarantine, since we can test for the virus? When will the epidemic end? The Polish Academy of Sciences has been inundated with questions about the pandemic, so we have collated some answers to the most commonly asked ones. We will update this page whenever new scientific information emerges.
