Dear Editor,
We read with interest the recent report by Zhang and colleagues in this Journal,1 who described the continuous evolution and dissemination of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). They analyzed the genomes and found the degree of diversification of 2019-nCoV was much smaller when compared with influenza A viruses. However, the transmission characteristics of Corona Virus Disease 2019 in China were also needed to be considered.
