“This year we have a very scary Chinese New Year. People are not going outside because of the virus.” CoronaVirus China WHO

While the World Health Organization held off on declaring a global emergency despite confirmed cases in half a dozen other countries, China expanded its lockdown to cover an area with a total population greater than Canada’s.

The outbreak emerged in late December in Wuhan, an industrial and transport hub of 11 million people in China’s centre, spreading to several other countries including the United States. “This year we have a very scary Chinese New Year. People are not going outside because of the virus,” a taxi driver in the city, who asked not to be named, told AFP.

The pathogen — 2019 Novel Coronavirus — has caused many outlets in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities to sell out their stocks of face masks. To discourage nationwide travel, the government has said all tickets for rail, air, road, or water transport could be exchanged for a refund.
