Other experts reported Wednesday on tests involving the coronavirus. They found that, in addition to person-to-person contact, it can spread through the air and through objects that an infected person has touched.

This new virus has infected more than 120,000 people and caused more than 4,300 deaths worldwide. It first appeared in the Hubei area of central China late last year.

The number of infections and deaths is much higher than the number during the 2003 SARS outbreak.
What we should do is wash our hands, be aware that infected people may be contaminating surfaces and keep hands away from the face.
