China coloca Wuhan e outras cidades de quarentena

January 23, 2020 - A China colocou de quarentena a cidade de Wuhan, onde residem mais de 11 milhões de pessoas, numa tentativa para conter um novo vírus mortífero, que infetou centenas de pessoas e alastrou a outras cidades e países nume época de férias pelo Novo Ano Lunar. Huanggang, uma cidade situada a cerca de 80km para leste, e várias outras cidades estão também sujeitas a restrições.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The number of cases reported is changing rapidly at the moment. The data reported by the Associated Press comes from the National Health Commission in China. The data reported by the WHO is currently lagging behind.

At least 17 people have died in China and more than 600 have been confirmed as infected as the Wuhan coronavirus continues to spread throughout Asia and across the world.

Wuhan, the city of 11 million people where the outbreak began, is under lockdown in an effort to contain the spread. Huanggang, Ezhou, and the smaller cities of Chibi and Zhijiang, all in Hubei province, are also under restrictions.

Authorities in the Chinese capital Beijing have cancelled all large-scale New Year celebrations to contain the spread of the virus.
