Experts from China and the World Health Organization have given the latest updates on the coronavirus outbreak at a press conference in Beijing.

Liang Wannian, head of the Chinese expert panel on outbreak response and disposal, said that most patients have mild symptoms and will recover. The percentage of people showing mild, severe and critical symptoms is around 80, 13 and 6 percent respectively. 

Bruce Aylward, head of WHO Experts Team, said the change in the graphic could mean hundreds of thousands of people have avoided infection. He also said that the world needs China's experience to control the epidemic and China has proved that it's done a great job.
