How fast is it spreading?

Thousands of new cases are being reported every day. However, analysts say that in fact it may be spreading far beyond that, at least 10 times as much as is reported in official statistics.

It has spread to South Korea, Italy, Iran so far, after which it is feared it will become a global epidemic. The global outbreak of any infection is called the outbreak when it spreads to different parts of the world.

The World Health Organization says they are concerned about the number of special cases that are indirectly related to China. “The chances of the virus being present are increasing,” says the company. '

With winter colds and flu spreading more rapidly, it is likely that climate change will help prevent the spread of the outbreak.

How did it all start?

The virus itself is not 'new'. It's just new to humans. It has come from one creature to another.

Many early cases were linked to a market in Wuhan in China where animal meat was found.



In China, many people are very close to animals that can transmit the virus. And densely populated cities mean the disease can spread easily.


The disease, called cirrhosis, also started with the Corona virus. It started with bats and ended up being humans through Sweat Cat.

The SARS epidemic killed 774 people in China in 2002, and more than eight thousand were affected.

This is the seventh variant of the recent virus Corona virus and no changes have been seen so far. But when the situation is resolved, scientists will take a closer look at it.
