Professor: "At least a year before we see the end of this"

The patient diagnosed with the coronavirus in Egypt is being cared for in isolation from the country's health department.

But unlike other countries with more well-developed health systems, according to Professor Björn Olsen, there is still a risk that the infectious disease can spread rapidly in the country.

- If it really gets attached there I think the control will be much much lower, he says in the Morning Study.

As the situation looks now, Olsen thinks it will take time to stop the virus.

- I think it will be at least a year before we see the end of this, maybe longer.
