"We do not know where the virus is hiding. We also do not know how people could be infected. Until we can answer these questions, we do not have anything to prevent attacks of this infection," said Margaret Chan, WHO director of the 66th World Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland recently.
So what do I need to know about the novel corona virus (nCoV) is? Here's the explanation as quoted from Time.Healthland, Thursday (30/05/2013).
1. nCoV be transmitted individually
WHO has not been able to say exactly how the virus is spread from person to
person , but from a number of suspected cases could be ascertained transmission
through coughing and sneezing or display environment has been contaminated nCoV.
Despite this, the contact can cause infection risk for the casual nature or
not yet be confirmed by the WHO.
2. nCoV comes from the Middle East
The virus began to be detected in 2012 in Jordan and has since spread to several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The problem is many a traveler who 'accidentally' take the infection to their home countries, such as Tunisia, France, Germany and Britain.
This fact is reinforced by the least cases of transmission of infection in individuals who do not visit the Middle East but to interact with them when she gets sick traveler from the region.

It could be that the people who have disorders such nCoV also susceptible
to infection , although symptoms may vary from case nCoV in general .
4 .No taboo associated traveling nCoV

countries where the reported cases of infection appear nCoV .
5. nCoV unlike SARS infection
WHO said that if SARS is a distant relative of nCoV. However, as part of
the same family of viruses , both infections they cause can lead to severe
symptoms, although SARS is only characterized by muscle pain and fever .The
difference, nCoV not contagious from one person to another with ease as well as
SARS.
