No need to overly worry as latest Wuhan flu cases not new infections

On Saturday, the number of people known to be infected with the new Wuhan coronavirus had increased by 17 and reached 62, of which two had died.

Many people are naturally worried about the outbreak, with some media outlets even saying that the situation may get worse. People should remain alert, but there is no reason to panic.

First, the increase of 17 does not mean 17 new infections. According to reports, they all contracted the virus before Jan 13, and their infections have just been confirmed.
