How did Coronavirus spread?

It all started in Wuhan city, Hubei Province, China where the virus was first identified. According to some unpublished Chinese government data, the first case of someone suffering from Covid-19 was to be traced back to 17 November 2019. Some believe that the first infections were linked to a live animal market, but the virus is now spreading from person-to-person and spread all over the world. Many people get affected because at first, they didn’t know that they got affected with it and interact with many other people and the virus formed the chain and now the virus is in every city of every country in the world and On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the outbreak should be considered a pandemic.
The COVID-19 infection can spread from one person to others via droplets produced from the respiratory system of infected people, often during coughing or sneezing that’s why infected people are asked to wear a mask to avoid its spread.
