Although some people call the disease "Wuhan pneumonia" (WuChinese(Chinese)pneumonia/Wu lung), “Wuhan disease” or “Chinese virus”, the use of these expressions is considered racist in China and by many people of Chinese origin.
Ijapokuwa baadhi ya watu wanaita ugonjwa huu &quot;nimonia ya Wuhan&quot; (武汉(漢)肺炎/武肺), &quot;ugonjwa wa Wuhan&quot;, au &quot;virusi vya Uchina&quot;, matumizi ya maneno haya yanachukuliwa kama ya ubaguzi wa rangi nchini Uchina na watu wengi wa eneo la Uchina.
