The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan has infected thousands and killed more than a hundred people.

Virus Identification Lab Leader Julian Druce said, "Having a real virus means we can actually verify and validate all test methods and compare their sensitivity and specificity." "It will change the diagnostic landscape." .
Mike Catton, deputy director of the Doherty Institute, said the laboratory version of the new coronavirus could establish an antibody test that detects coronavirus in patients who have not yet developed symptoms. In addition, the effectiveness of the vaccine can be tested.
The Chinese laboratory has cultivated the virus strain and published the virus gene sequencing, but has not provided the virus strain to the outside world.
