Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "SARS-CoV-2" in Vietnamese language version.
|website= (trợ giúp)|website= (trợ giúp)|journal= (trợ giúp)|website= (trợ giúp)From a risk communications perspective, using the name SARS can have unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations, especially in Asia which was worst affected by the SARS outbreak in 2003. 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 intended as replacements for the official name of the virus as agreed by the ICTV.
