As the deadly coronavirus continues to spread from the city of Wuhan, in China, authorities decided to put the entire city on lockdown in an attempt to control the virus, reported The Guardian.
The virus was first detected in late December in Hubei province, of which Wuhan is the capital. Since the outbreak started, 17 people have been reported dead, most occurring in Wuhan. The source of the outbreak is suspected to be a seafood market selling wild animals. The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that the virus originated in an animal and was passed along to a human, where it mutated and became transmissible from person to person.
