About Coronavirus

Coronavirus is a strain that has never been seen before. Medical experts have named it ‘novel coronavirus’, or 2019-nCov. Victims suffer from acute respiratory infection and it has already spread across China, killing around 42 people and infecting thousands more. The virus was believed to have originated in Wuhan city in the province of Hubei, and has spread throughout the world from people who have recently traveled to and from the affected region. Australia has four confirmed cases, while the United States has two and France has three.

As people in China and around the world celebrate the Lunar New Year, we send our love and support to the many impacted by the Coronavirus. Apple will be donating to groups on the ground helping support all of those affected.
