The total number of confirmed cases in China rose about 30 per cent to 2,744, with about half in Hubei province, the capital of which is Wuhan. But some experts suspect the number of infected people is much higher. “Hubei people are getting discriminated against,” a Wuhan resident complained on the Weibo social media platform.
Wuhan, a city of 11 million people, is in virtual lockdown and severe limits on movement are in place in several other Chinese cities.

National Health Commission Minister Ma Xiaowei said yesterday the incubation period could range from one to 14 days, and the virus was infectious during incubation, unlike SARS.
