Coronavirus aus Wuhan: Viele Menschen tragen Schutzmasken

The new virus belongs to the same type of virus, it is only a different variant - which is currently more harmless. It is precisely because of the memories of the Sars outbreak that the new illness has become an omnipresent topic in people in China. The country had practically come to a standstill at that time, schools remained closed for weeks. Sars viruses are among the corona viruses that often cause harmless diseases such as colds. However, pathogens of dangerous respiratory diseases such as Mers are also included.

There were an unusually large number of people wearing protective masks in Beijing on Tuesday and Wednesday. The masks were already sold out in some shops. Families discussed whether planned trips should be canceled over the holidays.
