The National Health Commission of the Asian country believes that this disease, which has already left more than 600 infected, could mutate and spread, since it is transmitted through the respiratory tract. Therefore, he gave a series of recommendations to contain the virus, including disinfection and ventilation in airports, train stations and shopping centers, precisely in a week in which hundreds of millions of people travel through the country on the occasion of the holidays of the Lunar New Year
