China has said that the coronavirus could mutate.

It’s a further warning as the SARS-like virus has killed nine people, and infected around 440 and spread to other countries

It has caused alarm because it’s similar to SARS - which killed nearly 650 people across China and Hong Kong in 2002 and 2003.

Dr Kunal Patel is a consulting physician at the Tropical Medical Bureau, and on Wednesday evening's edition of the Hard Shoulder explained what the virus is, what it does, and whether we should all be worried.
