Attorney Matthew Moore, of Boca Raton, Florida has filed a nationwide class action suite against the People’s Republic of Chine for failing to report and contain the coronavirus outbreak that led to it become a global pandemic.
Â
The complaint alleges that the China and other related defendants were aware that COVID-19 was contagious and capable of spreading quickly, yet they proverbially put their head in the sand to cover their own economic interest.
Â
In addition to China, the suit also names various Chinese health and emergency departments, the Hubei province and the city of Wuhan, where COVID-19 first emerged in late December. The World Health Organization has since declared COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic and President Trump has declared a national emergency.
