The number of victims of the new coronavirus in China is increasing

The number of victims of the new coronavirus in China is increasing. Local authorities announced two new deaths and 77 new illnesses. The death toll thus reached 6, and the number of illnesses is approaching 300, writes the BBC. Worse is that the virus has crossed China's borders and reached three other Asian countries: Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Also under surveillance is a man from Australia and another from the Philippines.

Hong Kong specialists accuse the Chinese authorities of hiding the truth and the number of those infected would exceed 1,300. Chinese experts confirmed on Monday that the disease was spreading from person to person and the disease has already spread to the most populous countries of the world. 

As a precaution, doctors dressed in suits to protect against biological contamination are still examining passengers on the plane. The body temperature is checked and who has the slightest symptom is dropped from the plane and transported to the hospital.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause diseases that start from a banal cold. It is transmitted between animals and some of these coronaviruses also have the ability to transmit from animal to human.
