China’s new coronavirus has killed  17 people and 549 has been effected so far. It is no exaggeration to say that the virus is spreading rapidly. Now, what worries all parties is how to control the situation from the wide spread of virus. On this occasion of the Chinese Spring Festival, the situation is very  serious.

The new Wuhan coronavirus, which belongs to the same family as the SARS virus found in China 17 years ago, has now spread from Wuhan to China and from Asia to China. The United States announced the first case of Wuhan pneumonia on Tuesday.

Chinese experts have determined that human-to-human transmission and medical staff infections have begun to spread to a certain extent. Li Bin, deputy director of the Chinese Health Commission, said on the 22nd that the source of the new coronavirus infection has not been found, the transmission of the epidemic has not been fully grasped, the virus may mutate, and the epidemic is at risk of further spread.

In this context, the World Health Organization urgently held a closed-door meeting to discuss countermeasures. The World Health Organization only uses “global emergencies” for outbreaks in rare cases, for bird flu that broke out in 2009, Zika virus that broke out in 2016, and Ebola virus that raged in western Africa. WHO Declaring a global emergency and calling for all-out confrontation.

Hong Kong announced on Wednesday that the first highly suspected case of Wuhan’s new coronavirus infection was awaiting final confirmation of the expected results on the 23rd. Authorities are tracking the neighbouring passenger who arrived on the high-speed rail with this patient. According to reports, the 39-year-old male patient was detected with a fever when he entered the West Kowloon High Speed ​​Rail Station and was immediately quarantined. It was determined to be a highly suspected case.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Chinese President Xi Jinping said to French President Macron that he had taken strict control measures. He also stated that China is willing to cooperate with the international community to effectively stop the epidemic and maintain global health and safety.

Li Bin, deputy minister of the Chinese Health Commission, said that the virus transmitted through the respiratory system may spread more easily after mutation. He pointed out that at the current Spring Festival, the surge in personnel flow has objectively increased the risk of epidemic spread and the difficulty of prevention and control, and we must be extremely vigilant. He hopes to control the epidemic in Wuhan.

At this moment, the Spring Festival is full of force, and hundreds of millions of Chinese who visit relatives during the Spring Festival are on their way home. Once the virus spreads on a large scale, such a high-density crowd will be uncontrollable.

After the official government has shown no significance to the epidemic for a whole month, the Chinese media, especially those living in big cities, have expressed concern that most people have already put on masks.

The first case of Wuhan pneumonia was confirmed in Taiwan on the evening of the 21st. The patient is a Taiwanese businessman who is engaged in education in the mainland. Macau confirmed the first case of Wuhan pneumonia on the 22nd. It is a Wuhan traveler and is currently being treated in isolation.
