CNBC ASIA stated it was identified as 123HK at around 8am this morning. Therefore it is a virus and treatable.

There is no treatment for a virus other than to support your body's own defence against it.

If it was a bacteria, then it's treatable with antibiotics. With any viral disease, it's up to each patient to fight it off on their own.

Prior to infection, it's possible to vaccinate with a small amount of virus to build natural antibodies, but again - no treatment other than what your body naturally produces.
