The start of 2020 has brought uncertainty for tech businesses as individuals in the global health and business communities grapple with trying to understand and contain the deadly new coronavirus. Originating in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, the coronavirus has infected more than 28,000 people, killing at least 560. On January 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the 2019-nCoV virus (the formal medical designation of this new strand of coronavirus) a public health emergency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is also closely monitoring the outbreak, reports that “[t]he potential public health threat posed by 2019-nCoV virus is high, both globally and to the United States.”
