Well this is interesting. Correspondence/New England Journal of Medicine - 17 Docs from Munich.
Supposedly the virus can be spread during the incubation period while no symptoms are present, but now it also appears (not certain) that someone who's contracted and recovered from the CoronaVirus can still shed the virus after they've convalesced and still be contagious to others.

".......the detection of 2019-nCoV and a high sputum viral load in a convalescent patient (Patient 1) arouse concern about prolonged shedding of 2019-nCoV after recovery....."

Edited to add:
If the hypothesis by those 17 Docs from Germany is true, this virus has the potential to get a little sporty worldwide. Let's hope it doesn't.
Research gone wrong is what this appears to be, IMHO. It is interesting that 2 of the scientists who researched and engineered a similar virulent Virus at UNC in 2014/2015 were, and are now; doing similar research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in Wuhan, China. Coincidence?
