(6 years ago)Chinese authorities announced on Monday that a new virus, similar to the “virus Sars”, has spread to parts of the country, including the capital, Beijing, bringing the number of infected persons to 139. This has increased fear of massive spread on the eve of the Chinese New Year when millions travel [...]
This virus has caused alarm because of its connection to acute respiratory skeet syndrome, which killed about 650 people in China and Hong Kong in 2002-2003.
The first case of this virus was recorded in the town of Wuhan, which has 11 million inhabitants and serves as an important point for the tour of trips, including the holiday season trips. This week millions of Chinese travel to visit their families.
Still no case of human infection has been confirmed. However, authorities have said that the possibility of the virus spreading even through people infected with fat people is not ruled out.
In addition to China, three cases of this virus have been recorded outside. Two cases were recorded in Thailand, one in Japan, and finally another in South Korea, where a woman who came from China had come up with a positive result of testing this virus.
Despite the increase in cases of the virus, a health commission in Guangdong has said the situation is under control. However, British experts believe that the number of infected has been underestimated by the Chinese government and that this figure could be over 1700, writes the Guardian”.
