How long will the novel coronavirus last?

In an interview with China Central Television Wednesday night, Wang Chen, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said since SARS has strong transmissibility and pathogenicity, it is hard for the virus to survive and continue to spread among people. If the virus kills the host, it too perishes.
However, it is possible that COVID-19 many turn into a long-standing disease like influenza, said Wang.
“We must be prepared for that,” said Wang, emphasizing the need to study the biological characteristics of the virus, and make corresponding arrangements in clinical prevention and treatment, as well as other preventive measures in production and our daily lives.
