The outbreak of Coronavirus has caused a shortage of medical supplies that can be used to protect against the virus in China. Coronavirus is currently affecting many areas of China, including Chicago’s sister cities of Shanghai and Shenyang, as well as Chicago’s gateway city of Wuhan. A significant amount of people have been affected by this virus and supplies are running low in China.
