                            BEIJING, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) --
                            ...
                            "The current outbreak is concentrated in the city of Wuhan in central China, and is sporadic in other places, meaning it is still a regional outbreak," said Zhong Nanshan, a renowned respiratory expert and head of a high-level expert team of the National Health Commission (NHC).
                            ...
                            The continuous emergence of new cases indicates the outbreak is still at its early stage of rapid changes, Zhong added.

                            Zeng Guang, chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC), said no infections among children or students have been reported in Wuhan, and the infection cases are mainly elderly people.

                            The outbreak is at its early stage of community transmission, Zeng said, adding that it can be reversed if measures are taken now.
                            ...
                            No super-spreader, or a highly contagious virus carrier, has emerged, according to the experts.

                            Zhong predicted an increase in viral pneumonia cases during the ongoing Lunar New Year travel rush, noting that a key task is to prevent super-spreaders from emerging.

                            According to Zhong, putting the confirmed and suspected patients in quarantine is the most effective method to bring the outbreak under control.
                            ...
                            Though the spread of the novel coronavirus has just started, which is at a rising stage, the virus is less contagious than the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus, Zhong said.

                            The future situation depends on the development of the virus as well as how the outbreak is controlled, Zhong added.
