A strange new virus nicknamed Wubrick Virus has spread throughout the central province of Equanter, infecting 500 people. Some 200 have been hospitalised for further treatment.

The Equanterian government has sought the help of the World of Bricks Health Organisation (WBHO) to contain the spread of the unknown virus.

The WuBrick virus is causing the victims to sneeze non-stop, thus depriving them of sleep. Some 150 people have died due to a lack of sleep.

The virus started from the small town of WuBrick in central Equanter before spreading to all the three provinces and the capital city, De Quan. 

The Equanterian government has also announced a series of lockdown measures to stop the spread of the virus. Residents are not allowed to move from one province to another. 

As the rate of infection in Equanter has increased, Malatia has completely sealed its land border with Equanter. The Kingdom of Legonia has required all visitors into the kingdom to be checked for any symptom of non-stop sneezing. 

WBHO staff have already arrived in Equanter and has set up an office in WuBrick. They will work with the Equanterian medical staff to find  the vaccine and treatment against the virus.
