Known as the Wuhan coronavirus (after the city where it was first identified), this novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causes a respiratory infection that can lead to fatal pneumonia. As of January 2020, thousands in China have been infected with over 100 deaths, leading to travel restrictions, infection control measures, and cancellation of public celebrations for Chinese New Year, to prevent the spread of the virus.
