- An outbreak of a new coronavirus that began in the central Chinese city of Wuhan has killed 41 people and infected more than 1,300 globally.
The virus has caused alarm because it is still too early to know just how dangerous it is and how easily it spreads between people. And because it is new, humans have not been able to build any immunity to it.** There were 1,287 confirmed cases and 41 people had died in China as of Jan. 24, according to the National Health Commission
** The previously unknown strain is believed to have emerged late last year from illegally traded wildlife at an animal market in Wuhan. ** The WHO said that while the outbreak was an emergency for China, it was not yet a global health emergency.** China says the virus is mutating and can be transmitted through human contact.** Three research teams have begun work on developing potential vaccines, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations said.** Wuhan, a city of 11 million, is under severe travel restrictions, with urban transport shut and outgoing flights suspended.
