A mysterious virus that emerged in China and is spreading rapidly is putting a strain on the healthcare system. Especially children's hospitals are overflowing with patients showing COVID-19-like symptoms, while authorities are trying to bring the situation under control.
Images shared on social media show long queues at hospitals and congestion in emergency services. Patients are exhibiting symptoms such as high fever, severe cough, sore throat, fatigue, and dizziness.
According to a report by Reuters, China's disease control agency has launched a special monitoring system for pneumonia cases of unknown origin. Experts are concerned about a condition seen in severe pneumonia cases known as "White Lung."
While some sources claim that a state of emergency has been declared in the country, there has been no official statement from the Chinese government or the World Health Organization yet.
Health experts point out that the rate of spread and the mortality rate of the disease may be higher than that of COVID-19. Health organizations around the world are closely monitoring the situation.
