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 early February 2020, over 17,000 people have been infected in China with over 360 deaths, leading to travel restrictions, infection control measures, and cancellation of public celebrations for Chinese New Year, to prevent the spread of the virus.
