Abstract

On 31 December 2019, several cases of pneumonia of unknown aetiology were reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) office in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The following week, the city's health authorities alerted the government that 44 people were infected. Given the speed of the spread of the virus, the market where the outbreak had occurred was closed for sanitation. This is why, although incipient, the WHO published a first document detailing all the information on the virus.
