    The flu-like coronavirus that has sickened more than 43,100 people in over two dozen countries now has a name: Covid-19. “Having a name matters to prevent the use of other names that can be inaccurate or stigmatizing,” Tedros told reporters. “It also gives us a standard format to use for any future coronavirus outbreak.” Once names are established in common usage, especially through the internet and social media, they are difficult to change, WHO officials have said.
