China had first reported the virus to WHO on December 31, 2019 with its origin stated as Wuhan, a commercial city in the country. But the Asian country has been accused of playing politics with the pandemic by withholding information about the virus from the rest of the world.
As of January 14, over 1.9 million coronavirus-related deaths have been confirmed globally.
