    • The atypical pneumonia case, caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), was first identified and reported in Wuhan, China in December, 2019 [1]. As of January 21, 2020 (11:59 a.m., GMT+8), there have been 215 cases of 2019-nCoV infections confirmed in mainland China. There were 198 domestic cases in Wuhan including 4 deaths, and 17 cases identified outside Wuhan including 8 in Shenzhen, 5 in Beijing, 2 in Shanghai and 2 in other places. The 2019-nCoV cases were also reported in Thailand, Japan and Republic of Korea, and all these cases were exported from Wuhan China, see WHO news release https://www.who.int/csr/don/en/from January 14–20, 2020. The first case outside Wuhan was confirmed in Shenzhen on January 3, 2020. Then, many major Chinese cities reported events of ‘imported 2019-nCoV cases’, thereafter, including Beijing and Shanghai. The outbreak is still on-going. And a recently published preprint by Imai et al. estimated that a total of 1723 (95%CI: 427–4471) cases of 2019-nCoV infections in Wuhan had onset of symptoms by January 12, 2020 [2].

    • Analysis of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Infection and Clinical Characteristics of Outpatients: An Epidemiological Study from the Fever Clinic in Wuhan, China 28 Pages Posted: 20 Feb 2020 Wenhua Liu Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Formerly Tongi Medical University) - Clinical Research Center Feng Wang Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Formerly Tongi Medical University) - Department of Laboratory Medicine More... Abstract Background: Since the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia, thousands of patients with fever, cough or fatigue were flocked to department of fever outpatients of designated hospitals in Wuhan, China, everyday. To date, no data have been provided to reflect the prevalence of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) among these outpatients. Besides, little is known on the distinguishable clinical features between COVID-19 and nucleic acid negative patients in fever clinics. Methods: From January 30 to February 4, 2020, a retrospective study was conducted on 936 patients from the fever clinic of Tongji Hospital, the biggest third-level grade-A hospital in Wuhan, which is located in the worst affected area by 2019-nCoV. The infectious status of 2019-nCoV was estimated among the outpatients in the fever clinics. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics were compared between COVID-19 and nucleic acid negative patients.
