As of 4 June 2020, there have been at least 386,503 confirmed deaths and more than
6,542,851 confirmed cases in the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wuhan strain has been
identified as a new strain of Beta coronavirus from group 2B with approximately 70%
genetic similarity to the SARS-CoV. The virus has a 96% similarity to a bat coronavirus, so
it is widely suspected to originate from bats as well. The pandemic has resulted in travel
restrictions and nationwide lockdowns in many countries.
