Ngokusho kwakhe, ekuqubukeni okuqhubekayo eShayina, amacala amancane nangenazo izimpawu abalelwa kumaphesenti angama-90 okutheleleka okuphelele, futhi kwakunezimo ezimbalwa eziphakathi nendawo (ezibonisa izimpawu ezifana ne-pneumonia). Ingxenye yezimo ezimbi kakhulu (ezidinga ukwelashwa komoya-mpilo ogeleza kakhulu noma ukuthola umoya ongangenisi umkhuhlane) yayincane kakhulu.
"Lokhu kuhluke kakhulu esimweni saseWuhan (ekupheleni kuka-2019), lapho uhlobo lokuqala lwabangela ukuqubuka kwalesi sifo.
