Coronavirus patients are trying to spread the disease by deliberately spitting at health care workers, it has been claimed. A South African teacher trapped in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the outbreak, said the infected were also spitting on elevator buttons. The number of people confirmed to have been infected with the Wuhan coronavirus has now exceeded 6,100 since the outbreak began almost a month ago. The killer coronavirus outbreak has now killed 133 people and struck down more than 6,000 in 19 different countries. Some people who catch the Wuhan coronavirus may not have any symptoms at all, or only very mild ones like a sore throat or a headache.
