Virus spreading
The outbreak began in Wuhan, a serious transportation hub also as central China’s main industrial and commercial centre, and has now spread to other major population centres including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong .
There is no known cure for the virus. Symptoms include fever, difficulty in breathing and cough, almost like many other respiratory illnesses, and may cause pneumonia.
Chinese authorities are still investigating the origins of the virus, though they confirmed the outbreak began at a market in Wuhan with illegal wildlife transactions which it can spread from one person to a different via respiratory transmission. Among confirmed patients are 15 medical workers, further adding to worries a few possible global pandemic.
Airports globally stepped up screening passengers from China and therefore the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) said during a risk assessment that further global spread of the virus was likely.
