The novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, and the disease it causes, COVID-19, has spread to more than 140 countries and territories around the world, killing thousands.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
