The coronavirus epidemic coronavirus 2019-nCoV could reach its peak in a week or ten days, said Tuesday Zhong Nanshan, a renowned Chinese expert in the field of respiratory diseases, in an interview with Xinhua.
The death rate from the new coronavirus epidemic is expected to decrease, Chinese expert on respiratory diseases Zhong Nanshan said on Tuesday in an interview with Xinhua.
“So far, no drug has been developed to specifically target the virus, but scientists and medical staff have explored many ways. As significant improvements have been made to the life support system, the death rate is expected to decrease further, “he added.
“It is very difficult to estimate with certainty when the epidemic will peak. But I think in a week or ten days, it will reach its peak and there will be no large-scale increase, “said Zhong.
Mr. Zhong is head of a national team of experts created for the control and prevention of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
