The coronavirus, which causes a type of pneumonia, has come to China and has already effected more than 200, three of whom have died. Japan, Thailand and South Korea have reported cases.
The outbreak has revived memories of the Sars virus - also a coronavirus - that killed 774 people in the early 2000s across dozens of countries, mostly in Asia. Analysis of the genetic code of the new virus shows it is more closely related to Sars than any other human coronavirus.
