A state of panic is now prevailing worldwide, specifically in China, after the rapid outbreak of Coronavirus, which caused the death of more than 170 cases worldwide.

It became necessary to find out a way to face this deadly virus that represents a deadly threat to all human beings.

The Chinese have devised many ways to avoid coronavirus infection, some of them made face masks from their clothes and others resorted to completely cover their faces and heads, while other people used many plastic water bottles as masks on their noses and mouths.

China announced on Thursday that the death toll from the Coronavirus has risen to 170 till now, and the total number of infection cases in the country has reached 7711.

Earlier today, China Anti-Corruption watch-dog announced that it will severely punish any official who fails to do his job in fighting the new Coronavirus, which is spreading across the country.

Moreover, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said on its website that anyone who does not effectively implement President Xi Jinping’s instructions in the battle against the virus will be punished.

It added that it would also punish those who neglect their duty and misuse rescue funds and materials.

On the other hand, Sudan suspects that two of its citizens who returned to the country from China are infected with the new coronavirus, the information minister told Reuters.

One of the pair, a man and a woman, had been in the region of the Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, Said Faisal Saleh.

Both are under medical check ups.

The coronavirus cases were reported in a number of countries (such as Japan, France, the United States, and others), while the Arab countries confirmed that they were free of the virus.
