SARS-CoV-19 structure, host cell entry, and replication model. SARS-CoV-2 binds to host cells through the ACE-2 receptor, and, after uncoating, the components of virion use the host cell’s machinery to produce new viruses. Finally, the SARS-CoV-2 virions are released from the host cell by exocytosis.
