The Covid-19 coronavirus disease, which originated in Wuhan, China, has swiftly spread around the world since it was first detected in December.

This Vox guide will provide answers to your biggest questions about the disease and help you better understand the scale and scope of the outbreak, its economic impact, and how to prepare and protect yourself if you live in or have to travel to an area affected by the outbreak.
