Numbers infected by mystery virus emerging in #China are far greater than official figures suggest, scientists have told the BBC. There have been more than 60 confirmed cases of new #coronavirus , but UK experts estimate a figure nearer 1,700.

New virus in China 'will have infected hundreds'

The virus emerged in December, two people have died and it has been detected in three countries.
