The epidemic of this unknown virus had stated last month, in Wuhan city of China’s Hubei province. The Chinese administration has informed that the spread of this epidemic has begun from a market dealing with Animal Meat. In the initial two weeks, China quoted that, the outbreak was not serious in nature & was limited to the Wuhan city in China. During this period, China had also stated the figure of infected people between 40 to 50. But in the last two weeks, there was a rapid spread of the epidemic and now it has spread to 19 other countries. The virus responsible for this disease is similar to coronavirus.

People from Australia, European nations, Canada & Asian countries are diagnosed with coronavirus, this has forced the WHO to call a second meeting in a week. In Thursday meeting, the WHO has declared this virus from China as a global emergency and has warned the countries with weak health infrastructure, of the grave danger they face.
