The President relayed claims by his Chinese counterpart that ‘the heat kills this kind of virus’ (Picture: SIPA USA/PA/Getty) Donald Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping told him the deadly coronavirus will be gone by April. The President said the two had ‘a long talk’ during which his counterpart explained that ‘the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus’. He told a meeting of state governors at the White House: ‘A lot of people think that goes away in April as the heat comes in. We’re in great shape though, we have 12 cases, 11 cases, but we’re in very good shape.’ Although hopeful the prediction will prove correct, medical experts said it was ‘too early to say’ whether the virus was likely to recede as it warms up and cautioned that the spread of cases with no history of travel to China could prove ‘the spark that becomes a bigger fire’. Trump made the comments at the White House Business Session with governors (Picture: SIPA USA/PA) Dr Kate Tulenko, CEO of Washington DC-based Corvus Health, told The Independent the US would likely see an increase in the number of cases in coming months before they drop off towards the spring. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert Vanderbilt University Medical Centre in Tennessee, and an adviser to the centres for disease control (CDC), added: ‘I have been saying we have to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ‘Someone has told the president that respiratory illnesses such as flu tend to recent in the spring, and that is true. But this is a new virus and a new host – humans. ‘It’s very difficult to predict. We don’t know exactly.’ A patient is transferred by an ambulance to hospital in Hong Kong (Picture: Getty Images)More: Donald Trump Friends star David Schwimmer compares his role in new comedy Intelligence to Donald Trump What did Brad Pitt say about Donald Trump’s impeachment in his Oscars speech? Donald Trump claims viral picture of orange tan line was ‘photoshopped’ Dean Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, told CNN it would be ‘reckless’ to assume the situation would automatically improve with the change in weather. He added: ‘We don’t really understand the basis of seasonality, and of course we know absolutely nothing about this particular virus.’ President Trump’s comments came hours before the death toll from the outbreak on mainland China passed 1,000. Across the country, the number of newly confirmed cases fell slightly on Tuesday, to 2,478 from 3,062 a day earlier, bringing the total number to 42,638. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organisation, called the instances of transmission from people who hadn’t been to China ‘concerning’. He said: ‘It could be the spark that becomes a bigger fire. But for now it is only a spark. Our objective remains containment.’ What is the coronavirus and where did it start? Coronaviruses are a family of diseases which include the common cold and the virus which caused Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which originated in China in 2002 and killed nearly 800 people around the world. The virus causing concern now is a new strain which has made the jump from animals to people. It causes flu-like symptoms and can make it hard for people to breathe, causing viral pneumonia in severe cases. Over 900 people worldwide have now died after contracting the illness. How does it affect the lungs? The virus is more likely to progress into a severe illness or prove fatal among older patients or those with weakened immune systems. As it is a viral illness, antibiotics will not help and there is no known cure or vaccine.

The Foreign Office has warned against all but essential travel to mainland China, and British Airways has subsequently suspended flights there. They have not advised against travel to Thailand and Japan, which have both seen cases of the virus, but warned there are enhanced quarantine procedures at entry points to Japan such as airports and ports. If you’re booked onto a flight with BA and are scheduled to fly between January 26 – February 23, you can request a refund. In order to do this, get in touch with them directly through the BA website. They also offer the option to rebook to the same destination, although it is not known when flights to mainland China will resume. Can I get a refund on my BA flights? Is it safe to travel to Thailand? Is it safe to travel to Japan as the coronavirus spreads? To avoid the illness, take usual hygiene precautions, such as using a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes, and making sure to wash your hands. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth after touching things like poles on public transport and avoid close contact with people suffering an acute respiratory infection. You should also avoid unprotected contact with wild or farm animals. So far, eight cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the UK. Hundreds have been tested for it here, with most of the tests coming back negative. How many people in the UK have it? Is Coronavirus in the UK? The virus originated in the city of Wuhan in China, where it is believed to have made the jump from animals to people at a seafood market. Wuhan is the capital of China’s Hubei province, a landlocked province in central China. It is built along the Yangtze river, and is around 500 miles west of Shanghai and 690 miles north of Hong Kong. It is the largest and most populous city in central China, although estimates over its population vary. Where is Wuhan in China, where coronavirus started?
