The recently emerged coronavirus in Wuhan, China has claimed at least two lives as of January 17 and infected hundreds if not thousands of individuals. The situation has drawn international attention, including from the virology community. We applaud the rapid release to the public of the genome sequence of the new virus by Chinese virologists, but we also believe that increased transparency on disease reporting and data sharing with international colleagues are crucial for curbing the spread of this newly emerging virus to other parts of the world.
截至 1 月 17 日，中国武汉新出现的冠状病毒已造成至少两人死亡，数百人甚至数千人感染。这一情况引起了国际关注，包括病毒学界的关注。我们赞赏中国病毒学家迅速向公众发布新病毒的基因组序列，但我们也认为，提高疾病报告的透明度并与国际同行分享数据，对于遏制这种新出现的病毒向世界其他地区传播至关重要。
