Here is the text from the graphic:

The SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19 or Coronavirus attaches to ACE2 receptor and then injects its RNA into the cell.

Many human cells have ACE2 receptors that can let viral RNA in.

In a part of the human cell called the Golgi the virus can trick the cell to make thousands of virus copies and assemble them.

A new virus is born and can mulitiply in other cells.

ACE2 are found in oral and nasal mucosa, lung, skin, stomach, colon, liver, kidney, small intestine, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, spleen, brain cells and many others.
