From the very beginning, China told the World Health Organization (WHO) and other countries what was happening. On January 3, 2020, they started sharing updates regularly. They even told the United States about the situation.
Helping to Find the Virus π¬
China worked hard to understand the virus. By January 12, 2020, they figured out the virus’s genetic code and shared it with the world. This helped scientists everywhere to start working on tests and vaccines!
