Corona Virus Disease 2019, COVID-19, refers to pneumonia caused by a new coronavirus infection in 2019. Since December 2019, some hospitals in Wuhan City, Hubei Province have successively found multiple cases of unexplained pneumonia with a history of South China seafood market exposure, which have now been confirmed as acute respiratory infections caused by new coronavirus infection in 2019.
On February 11, 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tan Desai, announced in Geneva, Switzerland, that the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia was named "COVID-19". On February 21, 2020, the National Health and Health Commission issued a notice on revising the English naming of new coronavirus pneumonia, and decided to revise the English name of "new coronavirus pneumonia" to "COVID-19", which is consistent with the name of the World Health Organization. The Chinese name remains unchanged. On March 4, 2020, the National Health Commission issued the "New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program (Trial Version 7)".
On March 11, 2020 local time, World Health Organization Director-General Tan Desai announced that according to the assessment, WHO believes that the current new pneumonia epidemic can be called a pandemic.
