About 13 thousand people affected so far by the Coronavirus

O The BSH says most cases responsible for increasing the number of cases in the province of Hubei have since been announced and are not new infections.

So this increase you see in the last 24 hours is largely due to change in the way cases are diagnosed and reported”Says WHO's Michael Ryan.

He also says the changes also enable doctors to report and deal with cases more rapidly.

Huosenshan Hospital, specially built in Huuhan for Coronavirus, says there were the first seven cured patients Thursday. The oldest of them was 66 years old.

The “people here are very good. NURSEs call me Bita. They cared for me physically and mentally, so I soon recovered. I want to tell people all over the country: don't be afraid, we've recovered and you all have to trust that you will win the war on the virus”, Says Lou, the patient healed.

Meanwhile, Japan reported to the first victim from the virus, several hours after confirming other cases on the tourist ship “Diamond Princes”, in quarantine near Tokyo, as the fear of spreading aid increases in the country.

We still don't have enough epidemiological information to spread the virus to Japan. On the next day we will collect information, consult with experts and consider the necessary measures”, Health Minister Katsunobu Kato said.

In the United States, a patient in quarantine at an Air Force base in Texas was officially diagnosed with the disease. He had returned to the United States on a plane booked by the State Department last week.

“indyviddy was placed in quarantine since he arrived at Lackland air base from China's Huhan, and the individual remains in solitary confinement at a local hospital”, said Ron Niremberg, mayor of San Antonio, Texas.

This brings the number of cases to 15 in the United States, where officials insist the risk to the public remains low.
