The epidemic of new coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan continues to spread. The Cooperative Centre for Epidemiology and Control of Health Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong Medical School held a press conference today (27) at 3 pm to explain the latest virus situation. Dean Leung Cheuk-wai of the University of Hong Kong Medical School and Professor Hu Qiqi from the School of Public Health will attend.

Liang Zhuowei pointed out that after analyzing the spread data of the outbreak, the basic reproduction rate of the virus is 2.13, which means that the outbreak will double every 6.2 days. He said that based on the data from the first day of the year, there were an estimated 25,630 confirmed cases in Wuhan, excluding "invisible patients" without surface symptoms. He went on to point out that, including patients during the incubation period, there would be 43,590 patients.
