“We have to be prepared that this particular epidemic may be about to become a global epidemic,” said Gabriel Leung, head of the team. While the epicentre remains in Wuhan and the central Chinese province of Hubei, it has since spread to some of the country’s biggest cities – including Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing, and the southern cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
The Wuhan virus has been detected in a dozen other countries – as far afield as North America and Europe – but only via a handful of people who travelled primarily from the epicentre in Wuhan. Leung said the number of infections would likely double every six days, peaking in April and May for those places currently dealing with an outbreak, although effective public health measures could bring that rate down.
