In the past couple of days, several Chinese cities have gone into lockdown in an attempt to stop and quarantine the deadly coronavirus. As numbers of infected individuals continue to rise, China is taking drastic measures to prevent further infections and deaths, including closing down major tourist attractions, reported The Daily Mail.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the virus is believed to have originated in Hubei province, in the capital of Wuhan. The World Health Organization (WHO) has emitted a statement pointing to a seafood market selling wild animals as the origin of the virus, which is believed to have jumped from an animal carrier to a person. Since the outbreak in late December, authorities suspect that over 10,000 people have been infected worldwide, with 26 deaths so far.
