Initially, coronavirus disease is mostly contracted by animals, especially mammals, birds, and reptiles. While there might not be a real explanation as to where does the disease originate from, it is believed that humans became infected with the disease via certain animals. The first case of this disease was reported to have happened in Wuhan, a sub-provincial city in Central China.
Most Chinese are known with a certain habit of eating all kinds of animals in different ways; in fact, some of them eat live animals. Symptoms of coronavirus disease are similar to that of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers). The two aforementioned diseases are also caused by certain coronaviruses.
Currently, thousands of cases of coronavirus disease have been recorded in different parts of the world. While about 82,295 cases have been recorded in China, as of April 15th, 2020.The remaining recorded cases in other countries of the world are far more than that of China.
