In total, 62 cases of the 2019-nCoV virus have been identified in the city of Wuhan, where the virus appears to have originated. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission reported the new cases in a statement yesterday. Most patients are experiencing mild symptoms, Li said, and no related cases have been found in more than 700 people who came into close contact with infected patients. “With the implementation of our various prevention and control measures, the epidemic can be prevented and controlled.”Although China has not yet reported cases outside of Wuhan, discussion about the coronavirus spreading to other Chinese cities has swelled on social media. A teenage male passenger with severe special pneumonia was reported on Saturday, CDC Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said.
