The Wuhan epidemic will shape China’s vision of intelligent cities, writes mak_robyn:
China’s government on Jan. 24 said a new coronavirus has killed 25 people in the country, and infected more than 800 people. Most of the cases are in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated late last year.
Non-fatal cases have been found in at least seven other countries, including Thailand, South Korea, Japan and the United States. Local officials on Jan. 23 shut down all urban transport networks in Wuhan and suspended outgoing flights from the city. Neighboring city, Huanggang, a city of 7 million people, is also suspending public transport and closing public venues, including movie theatres and internet cafes. The lockdown is “unprecedented in public health history”, according to the World Health Organization’s representative in Beijing.
