2:19Now PlayingEmergency room nurse Li Ting caught the coronavirus while working on the frontline. Her husband Hai Tang has been taking care of her and documenting her battle at home.
Health authorities around the world are on high alert as an outbreak of Covid-19, a pneumonia-like illness, has spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan to 67 countries and territories—affecting every continent— in the course of a month. It has shuttered cities as far away as in Italy, shaken financial markets and caused airlines to cancel flights globally. On Feb. 27, the head of the World Health Organization said the outbreak has the potential to become a pandemic.
The new coronavirus that causes Covid-19—renamed SARS-CoV-2—is thought to have spread from a food market in the central China metropolis that’s home to more than 11 million people. The large majority of cases and deaths have been in mainland China, but that trend is changing as new hot spots pop up in South Korea, Italy and Iran. So far, there have been 132 deaths linked to the virus outside mainland China: in Iran, Italy, South Korea, Japan, France, Hong Kong, the U.S., Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan.
