China's coronavirus continues to spread. Authorities said the outbreak could peak in 10 days. There have now been in a more than 1000 confirmed deaths its close to 42,600 cases and 16 countries outside China have confirmed cases. The number of cases have spiked over the past two weeks and the city of Wuhan have continues to the centre of the outbreak. The authorities are telling not to travel anywhere. The road in the cities of Wuhan and Hubei are deserted because people have not only told not to leave their cities but also to live in homes. In Wuhan two new hospitals are building only for coronavirus patients. The first have over thousands beds and totally finished within a week. Currently everyone is in queue in Wuhan. Everybody is wearing a face masks and medical staff wearing full body shields. In Hong Kong people are in queue for buying face masks for large amount of time due to shortage of masks.
The Chinese authority say that, "we are now in a critical period of prevention of this epidemic. We need to control the potential thought of the virus".
Dr Michael Ryan, executive director from World health organisation says that "The whole world needs to be on alert now. the whole world needs to take action and be ready for any case that come either from regional epicenter of from other epicenters that become established".
So the virus continues to spread, but there has been a breakthrough. scientists in Australia have recreated this new coronavirus and that may help first to diagnose and treat it.
For hundreds of British citizens who have flown back to UK from Wuhan, this is a tweet coming from British health services,
Some other countries have also evacuated their citizens like Japan. 200 Japanese citizens were evacuated from Wuhan to Tokyo and there are routine checks being carried out on board and airport but no mandatory Quarantine is planned there.
Over 200 Americans including diplomates and their families were evacuated from Wuhan and they have traveled to California where the Quarantine have been arranged at an air reserve base.
The general advice for Americans willing to travel to China is they currently have imposed level 3 which means people should not travel, there is advised not to travel unless the travel is essential. There is one level high that is level 4 which means just don't go or we are not in that stage or moment. I think that the message here from public health officials to not be alarmed. They have been very clear about what happening in China is not what happening there in United States. There are currently 13 confirmed cases of coronavirus in United States.
So the main message in the moment in United States is that do not travel to China unless you have to. Don't be alarmed unless you come in prolonged contact by more than 10 minutes in direct contact with confirmed case otherwise people should remain calm.
Meanwhile, British Airways suspended all direct flights from mainland China that follows United airlines already reduced its travel. The UK Government and health officials organised a corporate meeting to discuss the virus. This is an emergency meeting when a national crisis arises in UK. This time the meeting follows the UK foreign office telling Britain to cancel all travel to China.
There are certain controversies arising in Australia related to this.
