China’s National Health Commission reported Tuesday that six people have died and nearly 300 have been infected with a new coronavirus. The report came one day after the government confirmed the virus can spread from one person to another. The finding raises the possibility that the virus could spread quickly and widely. Zhong Nanshan is a respiratory expert and the head of a Chinese government team. He said two people in Guangdong province in southern China caught the virus from family members, state media reported. Some medical workers were also found to have the virus, the newspaper China Daily reported. Chinese President Xi Jinping called on the government to take every possible step to fight the disease.
