Ebola co-discoverer Peter Piot says it is difficult to contain Coronavirus and China needs to do much more to stop the virus.Speaking at the Bio-Asia Summit in Hyderabad, Piot said no travel ban has stopped an epidemic in history. “When the World Health Organisation declared coronavirus outbreak as an international concern, it explicitly recommended against travel restrictions. The ban may slow down the spread of infections, but the most important thing for slowing down the spread is that China gets the epidemic under control. They are going for very draconian measures that I do not think any other country, perhaps except for North Korea, can implement,” he said.
