Beijing warns of speed of Corona virus outbreak, deaths rise to 9

The number of cases infected with the virus increased to about 400 people

The Chinese authorities announced that the outcome of the new corona virus, which is spreading in China, has risen to nine deaths and more than 400 infected people throughout the country, warning of the danger of this virus spreading faster due to its ability to mutate.

Deputy Minister of the National Health Commission Lee Bin told a press conference that the virus, which is transmitted through the respiratory system, "can mutate and spread more quickly".


A previous toll announced by the Chinese authorities had reported the death of six people and the wounding of 300 others with the new virus from the strains of the Coronavirus, which causes acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
