Several hundred dead and tens of thousands of confirmed cases. The coronavirus epidemic, which broke out in China last December, continues to worry the planet.
It all begins on December 31, 2019 when the Chinese authorities warn the World Health Organization (WHO) of the emergence of cases of pneumonia of unknown origin in Wuhan (11 million inhabitants), capital of Hubei province in the center.
Several patients worked in a wholesale food market, closed by the authorities on January 1. And it was on January 7, 2020 that the first Chinese analyzes made it possible to identify a new coronavirus. Several Chinese cities are then quarantined and many countries are taking measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
