The primary organ affected by COVID 19 is
- a.Lung
- b.Liver
- c.Kidney
- d.Spleen
Answer: (A) Lung
SARS-CoV-2 enters cells through ACE2 receptors that are abundant in the respiratory tract, so COVID-19 primarily attacks the lungs, causing pneumonia in severe cases. Liver, kidney and spleen can be affected secondarily but are not the primary target.
