背景简介
最近，新型冠状病毒疫情牵动着所有人的心。
截至1月20日24时，全国累计报告新型冠状病毒感染肺炎确诊病例291例。日本和韩国通报确诊病例1例，泰国通报确诊病例2例。
冠状病毒是一类主要引起呼吸道、肠道疾病的病原体。整个病毒颗粒就像一顶帝王的皇冠，因此得名“冠状病毒”。
这次的新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）此前未在人类身上发现过。其感染症状包括：呼吸道症状，发烧，咳嗽，呼吸短促，呼吸困难等。1月20日，国家卫健委高级别专家组组长钟南山表示，目前新型冠状病毒疫情非常肯定地证实出现了人传人现象。
当前，新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎已纳入乙类传染病、采取甲类传染病的预防、控制措施。世卫组织22日将召开紧急会议，评估此次疫情是否构成“国际关注的突发公共卫生事件”，并就如何控制疫情传播提出建议。
