Researchers believe that the new strain of the Coronavirus, which appeared in China late last month, will still threaten China and other countries in the world for months to come.
They added that tens of thousands of people may catch the pathogen over those months across the world.
The virus which broke in the middle areas of China moved fiercely to countries in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Dr. David Weissmann, professor at the University of Toronto, Canada who analyzed the virus, said the threats of the virus will continue to spread during the spring up to the end of the next summer.

That seemed similar to the view of Dr. Alessandro Vespiniani, professor at Northeastern University, USA.
He works with a team of researchers running an online epidemic tracking platform.
He indicated that the virus will not be contained within next week or next month.
Naturally, researchers' estimates are not based on guesswork.
The available data, on the new virus, is still limited so far.
They use mathematical models to estimate the actual number of cases and compare them with previous epidemics, yet their hypotheses remain uncertain.
Until the end of last week, researchers believed that the infected people were not able to transmit infection unless they showed symptoms, such as fever, respiratory problems, and pneumonia.
However, the Chinese authorities said the infection could be transmitted in the incubation stage that may reach to two weeks.

US authorities of health said that there is no evidence that proves the possibility of transmitting the infection from the patient who did not show symptoms.
If those pessimistic views become true, they will change the dynamics of spreading the virus.
According to the latest data declared by the Chinese authorities, the total number of patients with pneumonia caused by the new type of Coronavirus in the country has reached 4,515 and 106 of them have died.
But only 60 persons have recovered and discharged from hospitals.
Outside of China, injuries have been reported in Hong Kong, Macao Island, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Vietnam, Singapore, Nepal, France, Australia, Malaysia, and Germany.
While Taiwan recorded the first case of transmission of the new Coronavirus infection, on Tuesday, it renewed its warning against traveling to the mainland of China.
