"According to the recent clinical data, the novel coronavirus seems to be more infectious, and we need more clinical data to analyze the virulence and pathology of the virus. Currently, the transmission of the epidemic is rather speedy, which has posed some challenges and pressures on the prevention work. Experts have predicted that the epidemic has entered a rather grave and complex period. Speaking of Wuhan, we should say measures taken in the prevention and control are playing an important role in curbing the outbreak. Nationwide, the spread of the epidemic is still in the early phase of sporadic occurrences. More powerful measures have been taken nationwide, so we feel that we should be able to end the prevention and control work of this outbreak at a lower cost and a faster speed, and achieve the final victory of this prevention and control work."

5. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Ma Xiaowei, director, National Health Commission (starting with shot 4):
"Given the quickened pace of the outbreak, the epidemic is probably to linger on for some time. It is likely that there will be a rise of the number of cases in the coming period. With the measures of personnel control implemented in the area around Wuhan, and with the top-level public health emergency response taken throughout the country, the prevention and control efforts will be further enhanced, and these measures will gradually take effect within a period of time, and the epidemic intensity of the outbreak will go down."

Clinical data shows that the novel coronavirus is appearing more infectious and cases of pneumonia caused by the virus could continue to rise, said Ma Xiaowei, minister of China's National Health Commission (NHC) at a press conference in Beijing on Sunday.
The preliminary knowledge based on the clinical epidemiological data indicates that the initial infection stage of the virus is from wild animals to humans, and now it has entered the stage of people-to-people infection. Among the clinical cases, there are both severe ones and mild ones.

Ma said the virus is infectious during the incubation period, which ranges from one to 14 days, and it is different from the epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The outbreak is grave and complex, and currently the prevention and control work is in a crucial moment, said Ma. In terms of spreading scope, it now tends to explode in Wuhan, while it occurs sporadically on multiple spots nationwide. But Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province remains the main outbreak area. Thirty other provinces except Tibet Autonomous Region have reported confirmed and suspected cases.
Ma said the knowledge of the new coronavirus is still limited and the source of infection and pathology are still unclear.
