China is facing a new and bigger challenge in the new year. The name of this challenge is Corona virus.
The corona virus is coming out of China's borders and showing its effect in other parts of the world.
Corona virus born in Wuhan city of China has been found to have presence in Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Nepal, Japan, USA, Australia and France.
Suspicious cases have been reported in many other countries including Britain and Canada.
By investigating these cases, it is being ascertained whether there is a corona virus behind them.
Passengers descending from airplanes flying to the rest of the world are being investigated by scientific methods.

Due to Corona virus, air travelers from other countries of the world are avoiding going to China these days.
Corona's havoc
This virus spreads its legs very fast. There is a confusion of pneumonia due to its infection.
This is the reason why Chinese health workers initially considered the corona virus infection as a minor pneumonia.
But soon he came to understand that this is not a minor infection and to deal with it, heel-peak will have to be emphasized.
There were signs of crisis even before the corona virus came to a standstill.
Sophie Hunt and Jason Neil of Nottingham University were in Wuhan in the last months of 2019.
Sophie told what she had seen in Wuhan, "We went to Walmart to shop. There was chaos. As you see, he wanted to buy and collect food and drink. Then we went to the medical store to buy masks. But people had already bought so many masks that there were no masks left at the medical store. It was very sad to see this condition of Wuhan, but then it was not known that the situation would be so bad in the coming days. ''
People in homes
China's Hubei province has been severely affected by the Corona virus. There have been more than a thousand cases of infection across the country.
Most of these infections have occurred in Hubei province. In one place, so many cases of infection have given sleep to the administration in China.
Authorities in China have taken several steps to prevent virus infection.
People are being prevented from moving from one place to another by banning travel in Hubei province.
A student living in a hostel in the capital city of Wuhan told the BBC that people are mindlessly huddled in four walls.
On the condition of not disclosing his name, he said, "Everyone is sitting indoors, nobody wants to get out." Now it has even come to the point that if you are very helpless, you have to take approval to get out of the house, you have to tell why you have to go out. We say that we have to go out to get food and drink, then we get the answer that we bring all this to the house, there is no need to get out. The result of this strictness of the authorities is that the roads are empty. Even after falling ill, instead of going to the hospital, we are being asked to stay in our room.
New Year's celebration faded
Due to restrictions, at least 20 million people living in ten cities of China have been affected.
In China, the government has closed many public places due to the growing infection.
These include a large part of the world famous China wall.
The celebration of Lunar New Year, one of the important dates in the Chinese calendar, has faded due to the Corona virus.
Millions of people travel during the Lunar New Year holidays. But this time due to restrictions, the color has dissolved.
The World Health Organization has expressed concern over the increasing cases of corona virus.
Why is corona dangerous
Abdi Mohammed, a doctor affiliated with the organization's emergency health services, told the BBC that scientists are yet to know a lot about the corona virus.
He said, "So far we have only so much information that the symptoms are appearing in the patients. But it is a matter of concern because it is a new disease. We do not know how this will effect. About four percent of corona-infected patients have succumbed. These were people whose resistance was weak. Now it is too early to say to what extent the corona can prove to be fatal. ''
According to BBC Health Editor James Gallagher, the corona virus is not a virus that ends on its own. Its spread can be stopped by banning movement in infected cities.
He believes, 'If you have any kind of contact with China or you have returned from Wuhan in recent times and you are having fever or cough, you are having some difficulty in breathing, then immediately you will get a doctor Should show. But you do not have to worry just because you have eaten seafood. This virus is not as dangerous as SARS, but if its symptoms do not catch, then it will be difficult to control it. It is not so easy to know who is the corona infection. It is known only when symptoms emerge or the patient's condition worsens. ''
The World Health Organization has described the corona virus as an emergency for China and said that it cannot be called a global health emergency.
But the World Health Organization has also said that the corona virus can pose a very serious threat to China as well as the rest of the world.
Dwarfed by virus
The rising outbreak of the Corona virus has raised the question of how ready countries like China are to deal with any virus in the growing world.
It was previously claimed that the corona virus does not spread from person to person.
But soon this claim was proved wrong and this mistake proved that despite the state of the art medical facilities it is very difficult to identify and understand the strength of a new virus.
Sometimes bats, sometimes snakes, and sometimes sea creatures served in food plates, that is, seafood, were said to be the cause of the corona virus, but it is not known for sure which of these caused the corona virus.
In the last few years, due to SARS, bird flu, swine-flu, Ebola and Zika virus in different parts of the world, mankind has faced great difficulties.
Scientists have reduced their risk by developing vaccines. But there is no medicine or vaccine for corona virus yet
This is the real reason for concern around the corona virus and it is expected that researchers will soon find a solution.
Till then, countries like India have no other option but to take precautions.
