The deadly Coronavirus has now been confirmed in all continents across the globe.
This virus started in Wuhan, China. The first case was reported to the World Health Organization on Dec. 31, 2019.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been infected with Coronavirus. Thousands have died as well.
Cases have been confirmed in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia.
One major reason why Coronavirus has been able to spread without been caught quickly is the incubation period.

Coronavirus has an incubation period of 2 to 14 days. This means a person can be infected for up to 2 weeks without showing symptoms. Transmission can still occur even if the infection has not been confirmed.

Since people travel across the globe, an infected person can transmit this virus to many as they journey from one country to another.

If there has been a confirmed case in your region, ensure you take preventive measures seriously to avoid getting infected.

People should also check the official website of WHO to get all the latest update on coronavirus.

The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) is not alarming as it can be easily transmitted from human to human. However, the virus has been said to be found in animals only, and it cannot be easily transmitted to humans unless an animal with such a virus has been consumed by humans.

The spread of this virus amongst human is easy, which made the spread across the globe is understandable. In most cases, the infected patient transfers the virus to people without knowing they are infected, and these new carriers tend to travel to other parts of the world.

This has caused an increase in the spread of this virus and new cases in all countries. This virus has increased over time because precautious were not taken early enough.

Coronavirus spread all over the world because of people who were not aware that they have this disease that went to various parts of the world. According to reports, the virus started from a guy who ate a bat in Wuhan, China. He became infected, and he spread the disease to other people. The disease has the tendency to stay on surfaces for long hours, so people with who he had close contact may have spread the disease to other people unknowingly. The time has arrived when it has already spread to various countries. Some countries are hit harder by the disease as compared to others. Italy is one of the countries that was hit hard by the virus.

Coronavirus is a pandemic that countries across the world are facing. It seems to have come out of nowhere, but this virus has been around for many years because it is made up of many individual viruses. The virus that the world is currently facing is COVID-19.

One of the reasons why it has spread so far is because there is no vaccine. If there was one, people could get treated sooner and lower the risk of infecting others. Another reason that it has spread is due to sanitary reasons, where people are not washing their hands frequently or cleaning their surfaces as they should.

Coronavirus is a new disease from Wuhan, China. The first case of this outbreak was recorded in the city in December 2019. Wuhan is a sub-provincial city in central China. A total number of 80,000 people have tested positive for this disease, out of which about 3, 255 people have lost their lives.

The reason as to why a lot of cases are now being recorded in different parts of the world is because carriers of this disease were allowed to travel to different countries unchecked. Most countries were too late in creating measures that would guard against the spread of this disease until recently when the disease was declared a global pandemic.

For instance, coronavirus got into most countries via people who traveled from China, particularly from Wuhan to other countries. Today, Italy has now become the worst-hit country, having recorded a total number of 4, 032 deaths. Currently, about 250 000 cases of coronavirus have been recorded in a different part of the world.

There are different theories about why the Coronavirus spread all across the globe. The most known reason is that it came from eating exotic animals. There is also a theory that this is a disease that has been released very timely in order to get rid of some people.

Basically, a person who ate an infected bat became a carrier of the Coronavirus and spread it all over the world. Whenever the person infects another person and the other person kept on traveling, it will be enough to transmit the disease to various parts of the world, which are what happened. People kept on traveling until different people started to get it.
