It is now of everyone's major priority to take this situation seriously, not only the authorities and the doctors but every other person who is directly or indirectly related to it. The global health emergency has been announced by WHO and the death toll is peaking every single day.

The virus has touched the death toll of 1100 and around 45000 people are infected from the virus, while almost 4000 are discharged from the hospital with full recovery. Almost all who have been killed are from mainland China while 2 of them are from outside China.  The virus has spread to almost 2 dozen territories around the world and now it has become a major threat to the whole world.

Meanwhile, China is increasingly working on its outbreak. China has built 2 hospitals in 11 days to keep the patients. Still, the authority is out of medical equipment and beds to keep the patients. Now they are turning open buildings to healthcare centers and so on. As easy as it sounds but their work is burdened every day. Doctors and staff are working day and night risking their lives. One of the doctors who warned about coronavirus is dead now by the very virus.

Around 2000 people are being quarantined in a cruise ship docked in Japan. It is recorded as the largest outbreak outside China. The ship has got 175 people infected by the virus and one of them is said to be the quarantine officer. The ship is quarantined for almost a week and the ship is strictly under surveillance. Likewise, a cruise ship called MS Westerdam with 2000 passengers on board is quarantined in the sea. These ships will be assisted strictly as the ship planned to stop in different ports.

On the other hand, WHO officials are concerned about the 'virus spread' to other under-developed countries or developing countries. The neighboring countries like Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, India are some major developing countries under its threat, while these countries are full of urban cities and slum areas are still seen. So, this might create a pandemic around South-East Asia. India has now recorded 3 cases while there have been no cases seen in the Philippines. 

The economy of China has lowered since the outbreak, causing major turbulence in businesses. People have not gone to work for a month or so and due to the stopping transaction on different ship ports, China is facing its crucial loss. Not only China but the global economy is getting disturbed by one of the largest trading centers, China.

The virus is now officially named Covid-19 by the WHO and the name was taken from "corona", " virus", "disease" and the year of its outbreak "2019". Experts from all around the world have given their great efforts to stop the virus outbreak. They are expected to conduct a meeting in Geneva regarding this situation. Experts have even said the virus might even peak more around mid- February. So, they have alarmed every person on this Earth. 

Expects have given some precautions major to stop oneself from virus infection. People are told to maintain distances around public places, wash hands many times a day, wear masks properly, sneeze covering mouth with hand or tissue and immediately wash hands. And in case of any symptoms seen in person is strictly advised to go see the doctor.
