Wuhan City – the epicenter for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV) is receiving added help with medical supplies and food. The city of 11 million people is in an effective quarantine as the efforts to contain the virus. Shipments of more than 2 million masks and medical supplies and other products will be sent to Wuhan City as logistics and supplies are available.
