The chairman of Wuhan, the region where the Coronavirus spread, offers his resignation

China is continuing its battle against the coronary that has claimed dozens of lives and hundreds of thousands of others, not only in this country, but in many other countries as well.

The virus first spread to Vuhan, while its leader, Jou Xianwang, has offered his resignation from the post due to criticism, writes the NY Times, Periscope.

Zhou has said he will hold every responsibility following criticism that erupted in his address and the Communist Party in China for mismanaging the spread of the virus.

The chairman of the Vuhan region has said that 11 million people have been affected by the measures taken since last week, where the city has already entered quarantine and where movements are minimal. He said this is an unprecedented example in human history.
