Deputy Minister of Public Health explains that the HKU5 coronavirus has not yet spread to humans.

This information comes from publicly available laboratory research that is developing and enhancing the laboratory testing capabilities. The HKU5-CoV-2 strain discovered is a genetic variant of the merbecovirus genus, which is not considered a new or mutant virus, but a member of the coronavirus family with multiple subspecies. The researchers found that the binding of HKU5-CoV-2 to human ACE2 is different from other marbecoviruses, leading to the assumption in the research that it may pose a risk of animal-to-human transmission and may result in an outbreak.
