The 2019-nCoV, or Wuhan virus, is a new coronavirus infecting people worldwide (Credit: Geralt/Pixabay/CCO)

On December 31, 2019, Chinese officials announced that 27 people in Wuhan, the capital of Central China’s Hubei province, had been infected with a new strain of the coronavirus. Since then, the number of cases of the contagious affliction labeled 2019-nCoV, COVID-19, or Wuhan virus, have rapidly increased, with new cases being reported daily. On Thursday, January 30, 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a global emergency, highlighting the urgency for a rapid coordinated international response to curb this global health risk.

      Kids are carriers for the disease, and also with school cancelling, even if the coronavirus isn't in your county, then it will hopefully slow the spread of the virus. This way, medical facilities like hospitals won't get overwhelmed with patients.

            My school is closed for a week now (being a nerd, I'm really sad), and all of my extracurricular activities. There's about 15 cases in my city 😨

              My school is only cancelled for one day so if my school is shut down, then the teachers can prepare on the day off if the school is shut down. They are so over the top about the corona-virus that if we didn't go to school after the PD day, they made us bring everything home.

                    My school is out for three weeks now because of the coronavirus. It's not because it's in our county (that we know of) but so the medical places like hospitals don't get extremely overwhelmed.
