REUTERS/Aly SongSHANGHAI: Chinese scientists and health experts involved in the country's fight against the coronavirus believe the worst is now over, downplaying warnings that the disease could become seasonal or that a deadlier"second wave" could hit later in the year.
"For me, a second outbreak , a domestic outbreak in China, wouldn't be a great concern," said Cao Wei, deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. " remains possible is that as controls around isolation are relaxed in China, with a population that is still susceptible, then the virus may resurge if it has not been eradicated elsewhere," he said.
"The number one point to get across is that in terms of the behaviour of this virus we are still very much in the dark," Henderson said."The issue around protective immunity is difficult to answer because we simply do not have sufficient information." US President Donald Trump has been one of many to suggest that COVID-19 could go away of its own accord as temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere.
