The coronavirus was confirmed in the Chinese city on January 7, 2020. Cases have since been confirmed in several other Asian countries, Europe and the United States.

The World Health Organisation, WHO, has since declared it a public health emergency of international dimensions. WHO chief Tedros Ghebereyesus said whiles China had a robust health system to detect and control, his outfit remained concerned about the virus entering country’s with weak systems.

Almost all African governments have publicly put in place strict screening at points of entry especially airports. Ivory Coast, Kenya, Ethiopia and Botswana have recorded suspected cases. All except Botswana have reported that the tests were negative. African airlines have cancelled scheduled flights to China except for Ethiopian Airlines.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that range from the common cold to MERS coronavirus, which is Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus and SARS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus.

In this article, we will share the latest developments as authorities implement measures to contain the spread of the virus, especially on the African continent.

African trio record cases, Air Tanzania ditches China route

Kenyan records new case, Nigeria ‘battle ready’

African airlines suspend flights to China

Ethiopia suspected cases test negative

Ethiopian Airlines denies reports of suspending flights

Ivory Coast’s suspected case tests negative

Mozambique suspends visa-on-arrival for travelers from China

Ethiopia isolates four suspected cases

Kenya rushes suspected case to hospital

Ivory Coast conducts first tests on African continent

February 2 – 3, 2020: Kenya, Ethiopia cases, Air Tanzania suspends flights

As at February 3, three African countries reported that they were investigation suspected cases of coronavirus. Kenya, Ethiopia and Botswana reported three, four, five cases respectively.

Ethiopia last week recorded negative for three suspected cases, same with Kenya’s first suspected case. Botswana’s one case as at last week rose to five in a statement by the Health Ministry on Sunday.

The only other African country to declare a suspected case negative is Ivory Coast. Meanwhile countries continue to undertake efforts to secure their entry points from possible importation of the virus.

Air Tanzania has also joined the African fliers that have suspended scheduled flights to China over the outbreak. Meanwhile, Ethiopia’s decision to continue flights to and from China has received heavy backlash.

Fears over the coronavirus have triggered a sharp fall in Chinese shares as markets reopened after the Lunar New Year holiday.

The Shanghai Composite index fell nearly 9% before recovering slightly, while commodity prices also slumped.

Manufacturing, materials, and consumer goods companies are among the hardest hit, as healthcare shares soar.

The fall came despite China's central bank announcing new measures to ease the impact of the outbreak.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) unexpectedly lowered short term interest rates as part of its attempts to relieve pressure on the economy from the rapidly spreading virus.

It is also pumping an extra 150 billion yuan ($22bn; £16.3bn) into the economy, a move aimed at ensuring there is enough liquidity in the banking system.
In total, the central bank will inject 1.2 trillion yuan into the financial system on Monday, the majority of which was already planned. The liquidity boost is the largest single day addition on record.

The PBOC said it could make more cash available throughout the week, as Chinese financial regulators forecast the impact on the country's already slowing economy will be "short term".The coronovirus outbreak comes as China's economy, which is the second largest in the world after the US, is slowing, following the trade war between Washington and Beijing.

China saw economic growth of 6.1% last year - the weakest expansion in around three decades. A partial trade deal easing tensions was signed earlier this month, but most tariffs remain in place.

The falling share prices in China come after global markets were rattled by the epidemic in recent days. Wall Street's S&P 500 index, on Friday notched up its worst week since October.

China's stock markets are dominated by retail investors - that's non-professional, though often quite wealthy, individuals, as opposed to institutional investors. They own a whopping 80% of A-shares on the Shanghai market, that's shares that are mainly open to Chinese investors. That means they have a profound effect on market movements, and what they're telling us with the sell-off today is that they're scared. But it's also important to remember Chinese investors are playing catch up with falls on markets elsewhere - this is the first time mainland China's stock markets have opened for more than a week, so it is not surprising they've taken a tumble.

Still, it's a nuanced picture - and not a case of every company's shares crashing. It is a stock market divided by sectors. So shares in companies that sell healthcare products have actually gone up by some 10% - while companies that are in the manufacturing, real estate and construction sector have fallen sharply.

The key question now is how bad the effect of coronavirus will be on China's economy - and as a result, on the fortunes of its companies. The truth is we just don't know. It is difficult to get reliable data from China; typically during the Lunar New Year period it is challenging to gauge how many people are working, or producing things. This year - as one analyst told me - "economists are flying blind" because the data coming out of the country is scant, patchy and unreliable at best. Already, many research houses are slashing first quarter growth forecasts for China. We are essentially in the dark at the moment about the health of China's economy - which is worrying because of how connected it is to the global economy.

Analysts say the impact of the virus - which has left major cities in full or partial lockdown - could harm growth if it lasts for a prolonged period.

China's travel and tourism sectors have already taken a hit over an unusually quiet Spring Festival break, while cinemas were forced to close to try to contain the virus.

Meanwhile, numerous factories have suspended production while companies have instructed employees to work from home
Foxconn, Toyota, Starbucks, McDonald's and Volkswagen are just a few of the corporate giants to have paused operations or shuttered outlets across China.

We are more concerned about corona virus.

US commerce secretary Wilbur Ross has said the deadly coronavirus outbreak in China could be positive for the American economy.

During a TV interview Mr Ross said: "I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America".
The rapid spread of the disease has raised fears about its impact on the Chinese economy and global growth.
The comments have come under fire from critics of President Trump's administration.

In response to a question on Fox Business News about whether the outbreak is a risk to the US economy Mr Ross said: "I don't want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate, very malignant disease."

"The fact is, it does give business yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain... So I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America," he went on to say.
Later the US Commerce Department echoed his comments: "As Secretary Ross made clear the first step is to bring the virus under control and help the victims of this disease."

"It is also important to consider the ramifications of doing business with a country that has a long history of covering up real risks to its own people and the rest of the world," a spokesperson said.

The remarks have been heavily criticised, with Democrat congressman Don Beyer taking to Twitter to question finding business advantages during the deadly outbreak.

Economists have also queried Mr Ross's comments. Simon Baptist from the Economist Intelligence Unit in Singapore told the BBC that the comments struck him as "weird".

"Companies are not going to make serious and long-term investment decisions on the basis of an outbreak of a disease that might last three to six months," he said.

He argued that the virus is more likely to have a negative impact on America rather than a positive one: "In fact, the US is going to be a net loser because despite everything, China is still a big market for the US, so if the Chinese economy slows significantly that's going to have a blowback effect on the US as well."

The new virus has now been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as it continues to spread outside China. At least 213 people have died from the virus in China, and it has now spread to 18 other countries.

Economists have said the coronavirus could have a bigger impact on the world economy than the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2002-2003. SARS infected more than 8,000 people, causing more than 700 deaths and is estimated to have cost the global economy more than $30bn.
