Excerpts from article:
...China has said that 440 people have now contracted a mysterious Sars-like virus that has killed nine people, as the government unveiled measures to rein in the spread of the disease and advised residents of Wuhan not to leave the city.
..."The virus may mutate, and there is a risk of further spread of the virus," said Li Bin, deputy director of the commission.
...Chinese authorities initially played Sars cases down, and were subsequently much criticised because the virus spread virtually unchecked to 37 countries, causing global panic, infecting more than 8,000 people and killing more than 750.
...The authorities will be keen to stop the spread and anxious that the virus will become more potent than so far appears.
...North Korea has also banned foreign tourists to guard against the spread of a new virus from China, one tour operator said.
