Zhong Nanshan, renowned Chinese respiratory scientist said person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is still happening in Wuhan, of central China's Hubei Province, the center of the epidemic.

Zhong, speaking at a press conference of Guangdong Province on combating virus on Tuesday, stressed the importance for Wuhan to distinguish health people from infected patients, and also to distinguish COVID-19 infection from common flu.

"It's urgent to differentiate those two issues or person-to-person won't stop in Wuhan," Zhong said, adding what Wuhan could achieve play a vital role in the national fight against the epidemic.
