The researchers took the number of cases reported outside China so far -- two in Abbey premiere
Thailand and one in Japan -- to infer how many were likely infected in the city, based

transmission more seriously than they have so far," he added, saying it was "unlikely"
that animal exposure was the main source of infection.

Two people are known to have been killed by the virus, a pathogen from the same
family as the deadly SARS virus -- even as health authorities around the world sought
to assure the public that the overall risk of infection remained low.

Authorities in Hong Kong have stepped up detection measures, including rigorous ADVERTISEMENT

temperature checkpoints for inbound travellers from the Chinese mainland.

The US said from Friday it would begin screening flights arriving from Wuhan at San
Francisco airport and New York's JFK -- which both receive direct flights -- as well as
Los Angeles, where many flights connect.
