TOKYO -- While the spread of a new coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei Province, shows no sign of stopping, a partial picture of the mysterious infection has emerged.
Experts in Japan, the U.S., China and elsewhere have begun to get a handle on the symptoms of the disease and potential treatments. The symptoms of the new coronavirus are relatively mild compared with other viruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. They are similar to those of a cold or influenza, experts say.
