BEIJING - The coronavirus transmission ability is getting stronger and infections could continue to rise, China’s National Health Commission said on Sunday , with more than 2,000 people globally infected and 56 in China killed by the disease.
Ma said the incubation period for the coronavirus can range from one to 14 days, and that the virus is infectious during incubation, which was not the case with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome , a coronavirus that originated in China and killed nearly 800 people globally in 2002 and 2003. The virus, believed to have originated late last year in a seafood market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan that was illegally selling wildlife, has spread to Chinese cities including Beijing and Shanghai, as well as the United States, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Australia, France and Canada.
