Just before the Wuhan deadly coronavirus outbreak, a woman entered her home to find that her passport was shredded apart by her dog.
The dog’s owner was set to travel with her family to Wuhan, which is at the center of the deadly Coronavirus, however, now the trip has been halted due to her passport being torn up by her dog.
She posted on her Facebook page “Once I got back to the room and found this scene!”
But shortly after that post, she had a change of heart when learning that the virus has spread through the city.
Knowing what could have happened if she was there, the dogs’ owner shared another post to express how grateful she was for having KIM “the dog” in her life “This kid is really protecting me. After my passport was torn apart, the virus began to go where I originally planned to go. I think about it now, and it’s very touching. Fortunately, you blocked our trip,”
This came after the tragic news was announced of a doctor who was working at a hospital in Wuhan, China, had died of coronavirus.
Since then, Wuhan has been quarantined following the spread of the deadly coronavirus in the city. The number of deaths following the epidemic in china jumped to 80 and 2,744 cases were confirmed in the country, the AFP said on January 27. The virus is also spreading to France and Australia, as well as parts of Asia.
The virus which was beforehand obscure to science – has been noted for its comparability to SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which killed 774 individuals in 2002-2003.
According to the NHS and the WHO, symptoms of the Wuhan coronavirus usually include: Feeling tired, Difficulty breathing, A high temperature, A cough and/or sore throat
It is suspected that animals, such as bats and snakes, could be the primary source of the virus, with a seafood market selling live animals in Wuhan identified as ground zero for the virus.
Wuhan is building two makeshift hospitals with about 1,000 beds each to handle patients. The city has said the first is expected to be completed February 3.
Xinhua also said medical supplies are being rushed to the city, including 14,000 protective suits, 110,000 pairs of gloves and masks and goggles.
