The authorities have said that a few of the infections had been transmitted from one person to another and this disease may spread faster in the holiday of the Lunar New Year, which is the biggest season for travel in the Chinese world. This had prompted the airlines and hotel operators to sell their shares as well as other companies which are travel related too.
