Coronavirus pandemic

In late December 2019, Chinese authorities notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, central China. Since then, cases of the novel coronavirus - named COVID-19 by the WHO - have been reported in more than 150 countries, including Russia.

On March 11, the WHO declared the outbreak a global pandemic. As of now, over 400,000 people have been infected around the world and about 18,000 have died. Russia has identified 495cases so far. The Russian government has launched an Internet hotline to keep the country’s people informed about the coronavirus situation.
