The Vatican sends hundreds of thousands of masks to China in
an attempt to help stall the spread of the Coronavirus.
The joint initiative of the Office of Papal charities and
the Missionary Centre of the Chinese Church in Italy has seen hundreds of
thousands of masks sent to China. According to a Press Statement by the Holy
See Press Office, the masks have been sent to Hubei, Zhejiand and Fujian
provinces, which appear to be the areas most affected by this virus.
Health officials believe the virus was initially transmitted
from animals to humans, but that human-to-human transmission of the
flu-like illness is now occurring.
The illness has now officially been spread to over 20
countries around the world.
China’s Health Commission reported on Sunday that there were
475 recoveries and 361 deaths nationwide, around 2% of those reported to have
been infected with the virus.
The number of people who have recovered nationwide has also
risen in recent days, suggesting that the new virus’s fatality rate is
relatively low.
