A look at the key dates, developments, and lockdown locations in the pandemic of the last two years
With the Covid-19 pandemic entering its third year, the early days of confusion over “pneumonia of unknown cause” in Wuhan might feel like a distant memory for many people in China, as well as worldwide.
