There are many links available online about the coronavirus outbreak that began in China and has led to deaths and thousands of people affected around the world.

One question posed to me recently was how is it possible for diseases to spread from animals to humans. This article aims to explore this and it could be used for the Health unit (the provision of healthcare). It has also been argued that countries with poorer quality healthcare may not have the access to adequate funding to support those affected.
