A coronavirus outbreak that started in Wuhan, the most populous city in central China, has killed 81 people and infected more than 2,700.
The disease has spread to at least 13 other countries outside China as well: the US, France, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, and Nepal.
At first, authorities suspected that the coronavirus — which most likely originated at a seafood market — could only spread to humans from animals. But they have since determined that humans can transmit the virus to one other.
There are no vaccines to protect humans from contracting a coronavirus.
