BEIJING, China.- Epidemiologist Zhong Nanshan, a member of the committee appointed by the Government of China to combat the Covid-19 outbreak, said the overall infection pandemic will be over by June.

He said he does not believe that the risk of contagion from a recovered patient be high, a phenomenon detected long ago and that increased fears of the virus.

According to experts, most contagions by the new coronavirus are recorded in China, Italy, Iran and South Korea. However, in China the dynamics of the spread have slowed markedly; this Thursday, the Chinese National Health Commission has claimed that the country has surpassed the peak of the epidemic.

Covid-19 can spread through little drops from the nose or mouth that come out when someone infected coughs or exhales.
