China: Over 3,000 medical staff have been infected by coronavirus

Over 3,000 medical staff have been infected by the coronavirus and most of the infections have occurred in Hubei province likely due to a lack of protective gears and fatigue, an official for China's National Health Commission said on Monday. 

"We still need to understand if non-symptomatic people can pass on the coronavirus," the official added.
