Several billboards at Times Square in New York are showing logos in support of Chinese citizens who are busy struggling against the novel coronavirus.

The logos, in Chinese, English, French, Japanese and Korean languages, all convey the wishes that China will overcome the novel coronavirus outbreak. The supporting logos will continue to shine until Feb 8.

The ads on the Nasdaq screen are chosen by both Chinese and American ad companies, and both parties now hope to arouse international concern for the ongoing coronavirus epidemic in China, in addition to showing care and support for Chinese citizens.

To date, a total of eleven people in the US have been diagnosed with the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
