At a time when the review of the epidemic of the new coronavirus reached 1113 dead and 44,653 contaminated people, Chinese researchers and WHO remain mobilized in the face of this new threat.
Chinese researchers announce, in fact, new discoveries on the coronavirus to which they have given a new name, COVVI-19.
A study carried out on more than 1099 Chinese patients, under the direction of Pr Nan-Shan Zhong reveals several new products:
The incubation period could go up to 24 days. The authorities set up an incubation period of 14 days so far. With this new data, if confirmed, quarantine periods should be extended by 14 to 24 days
The virus could also be in the patients of patients. This was the case on four of the sixty-two infected patients. A disturbing news for countries that do not have a high level of hygiene and a bad wastewater evacuation system
Patients do not necessarily have a fever when the presence of fever was considered a central element to detect the coronavirus. 56 % of patients studied had less than 37.5 ° C when they arrived at the hospital
From there, the World Health Organization is increasingly fearing the coronavirus which can, therefore, constitute a “very serious threat” outside of continental China when more than 400 cases are already identified in around thirty countries.
