Abstract: Abstract The end of 2019 was marked by the outbreak of a strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19. The virus may cause individuals to develop symptoms such as fever, fatigue and severe cough, and it has spread globally at an incredible pace. By the end of January 2020, the World Health Organization had declared the outbreak a public emergency of international concern, and restrictive measures were taken, country by country. With the virus presumably originating in the city of Wuhan – the capital of Hubei province – China was the first country to impose somewhat draconian quarantine measures. Media outlets were eager to show images of Wuhan’s closed public facilities, empty offices and deserted streets. As the virus spread, urban areas in the surrounding regions also went quiet. As the partial lockdown fanned out across the country, Chinese president Xi Jinping warned that the country needed to stabilize its booming economy.
