SINGAPORE: The coronavirus epidemic may be peaking in China where it was first detected in the central city of Wuhan but it is just beginning in the rest of the world and likely to spread, a global expert on infectious diseases said on Wednesday .
The Chinese government's senior medical adviser has said the disease is hitting a peak in China and may be over by April. He said he was basing the forecast on mathematical modelling, recent events and government action.Dale Fisher, chair of the Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network that is coordinated by the World Health Organization, said that predicted"time course" may well be true if the virus is allowed to run free in Wuhan.
"It's fair to say that's really what we are seeing," he told Reuters in an interview."But it has spread to other places where it's the beginning of the outbreak. In Singapore, we are at the beginning of the outbreak." The flu-like virus has killed more than 1,100 people and infected nearly 45,000, predominantly in China and mostly in Wuhan.
Yes , already started in Singapore , and the beginning of defeating COVID-19 , people's power will defeat it thank god only 50 infected out of 5.08m populations so far , some had discharge , some in ICU , pray hard they got that lungs of steel to defeat the virus
