The finding from the research, led by prominent Hong Kong microbiologist Yuen Kwok Yung, is based on tests conducted on lung tissue removed from COVID-19 patients. The results underlined the difficulties for health authorities worldwide to detect it compared to Sars.
It took about six months to contain the Sars epidemic, but according to Yuen the possibility of containing the virus before July is next to none.
