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.
