No, the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), is not related to the popular refreshing Mexican beer brand called Corona. But that’s not stopping people from searching Google to apparently try to double check.
Google Trends released data showing that around late January, there was a marked spike in searches for the terms “beer virus” and “corona beer virus.”
Jan. 25 showed the height of the spike in searches for the term “beer virus,” as searches rose to a value of 100 on Google Trends indicating a peak in popularity. For the term “corona beer virus,” it peaked at a value of 81, so searches for that term hit the top of the spike on Jan. 25, but the term was searched a little less often.
Connecticut, Oregon and New York searched the term “corona beer virus” the most. Meanwhile, New Mexico, Nebraska and Kansas were in the top three for opting to keep it simple and search “beer virus” the most out of the two choices.

No, it’s definitely linked to Corona, CA, where my grandfather owned a laundromat.
