The virus has spread so far in various parts of the world. There was a time when it was only in China, but it seems that there are a lot of people who were already infected there without them knowing. They have traveled to various places all over the world, and this has caused the disease to spread in a lot of countries, especially those countries that are frequented by tourists. It is not a surprise that this can be found in various Asian countries and also countries in Europe. Different countries from North America have also been infected. The disease has definitely spread to various places, and it is expected to spread more if people would not take extra precaution.

In just a short amount of time, the Coronavirus has made its way across the globe. The virus has been around for years, as there are various types of strains. This particular strain, COVID-19, is believed to have started in an animal market in Wuhan, China.

The virus has touched every continent, except for Antarctica. So far, Italy has the highest amount of cases in Europe. They are in a countrywide shelter in place but are still having hundreds of deaths every day. In the United States, the virus touched Washington state first, before eventually impacting every state. So far, New York state has been hit the hardest due to lack of supplies.
