Inside the Coronavirus Outbreak
First identified in early December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, informally named Wuhan Coronavirus (now formally named COVID-19 by World Health Organization) after the area it was first found, has attracted the attention of the world. As of February 10, 2020, more than one thousand people have died, and tens of thousands of others have been infected. As fears continue to mount, disruptions to trade and travel are being felt around the world, and a rising volume of misinformation about the outbreak has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring an "infodemic".
On today’s Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Craig Williams is joined by attorney Grace Yang who works out of Harris Bricken’s Seattle and Beijing offices, as they discuss this new coronavirus outbreak. Craig and Grace look at the real picture of what’s happening, the overall impact on travel and business, and China's new rules for dealing with the coronavirus.
