Oh! I missed that news. It seems old and people with disease are succumbing to it. There are 5 new cases in Bangalore today.
Yes the situation is getting controlled in Wuhan. But it's spreading elsewhere. Italy is going Wuhan way

I saw this message on a WhatsApp group as well. So far results are awaited, so it might be due to some other reason as well.

@msdivkar half information and social media messages are making even people affected with common flu and cough/cold suspecting themselves having NOVID-19. But irrational approach needs to be resisted.
