Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES The Ministry of Public Health found the first strains of a new strain of the corona virus infected in the country as a taxi driver. Expected to be infected by Chinese passengers. Dr. Sukhum Kanchanaphimai, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Public Health Press release today (31 January) that the results of the laboratory found that 5 additional coronary infections, including 19 infections found in Thailand. Until now, 7 of these have returned home. Still being treated in 12 hospitals, all of them improved. For the 5 new infections, 4 are Chinese, all with a history of traveling from Hubei and 1 Thai who is a man. There is a taxi driver career that does not have a history of traveling to China. Therefore, it can be concluded that this is the first case of infection in the country. "We are able to detect this patient quickly because of expanding surveillance to people working closely with Chinese people. Even without a history of traveling to China, "the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance said and revealed that now the taxi driver has generally improved Countries with local transmission reports are Germany, the United States of America, Japan and Vietnam. Dr. Thanarak Springphat, Deputy Director General of the Department of Disease Control, added that After being sick The taxi driver immediately stopped working. General people who use taxi services, so don't worry. Whether to get infected by an infected taxi driver or not "The first priority is to follow the close contact with this taxi driver after he is sick. In the investigation, it was found that 13 people all went through the infection testing process. Which all have negative effects But doctors continue to monitor the symptoms during the surveillance phase, "said Thanarak. Ministry of Public Health considered the announcement of a new strain of coronary virus as "Dangerous communicable diseases" Research shows Bangkok is at risk of being the world's number one coronary virus. What happened in the past 2 weeks after finding the first Coronary Infection in Thailand? 5 questions about a mask. The BBC has the answer. Found an infected person in the United Kingdom The Health Authority of the United Kingdom recently announced that two coronaviruses were found in the United Kingdom, belonging to the same family. Both are now receiving treatment in special care centers. However, the UK authorities did not provide any details about both people infected. The latest death toll from the corona virus in China has increased to at least 213 people, most of them in Hubei Province. While nearly 10,000 people are infected throughout China. Currently, there are approximately 98 people coronavirus infected in 18 other countries. Prof. Chris Whitney, chief health officer in England, said that the British National Health Service (NHS) is fully prepared and familiar with the management of infectious diseases. As well as detecting those who have contacted both people quickly, in order to prevent further spread. "We have prepared for the corona virus in the United Kingdom. And have strict control measures to deal with in a timely manner, "said Prof. Wityay.

Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany TO THE EDITOR: The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from Wuhan is currently causing concern in the medical community as the virus is spreading around the world.1 Since its identification in late December 2019, the number of cases from China that have been imported into other countries is on the rise, and the epidemiologic picture is changing on a daily basis. We are reporting a case of 2019-nCoV infection acquired outside of Asia in which transmission appears to have occurred during the incubation period in the index patient. A 33-year-old otherwise healthy German businessman (Patient 1) became ill with a sore throat, chills, and myalgias on January 24, 2020. The following day, a fever of 39.1°C (102.4°F) developed, along with a productive cough. By the evening of the next day, he started feeling better and went back to work on January 27. Figure 1.Timeline of Exposure to Index Patient with Asymptomatic 2019-CoV Infection in Germany. Before the onset of symptoms, he had attended meetings with a Chinese business partner at his company near Munich on January 20 and 21. The business partner, a Shanghai resident, had visited Germany between Jan. 19 and 22. During her stay, she had been well with no signs or symptoms of infection but had become ill on her flight back to China, where she tested positive for 2019-nCoV on January 26 (index patient in Figure 1). On January 27, she informed the company about her illness. Contact tracing was started, and the above-mentioned colleague was sent to the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine in Munich for further assessment. At presentation, he was afebrile and well. He reported no previous or chronic illnesses and had no history of foreign travel within 14 days before the onset of symptoms. Two nasopharyngeal swabs and one sputum sample were obtained and were found to be positive for 2019-nCoV on quantitative reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.2 Follow-up qRT-PCR assay revealed a high viral load of 108 copies per milliliter in his sputum during the following days, with the last available result on January 29. On January 28, three additional employees at the company tested positive for 2019-nCoV (Patients 2 through 4 in Figure 1). Of these patients, only Patient 2 had contact with the index patient; the other two patients had contact only with Patient 1. In accordance with the health authorities, all the patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV infection were admitted to a Munich infectious diseases unit for clinical monitoring and isolation. So far, none of the four confirmed patients show signs of severe clinical illness. This case of 2019-nCoV infection was diagnosed in Germany and transmitted outside of Asia. However, it is notable that the infection appears to have been transmitted during the incubation period of the index patient, in whom the illness was brief and nonspecific.3 The fact that asymptomatic persons are potential sources of 2019-nCoV infection may warrant a reassessment of transmission dynamics of the current outbreak. In this context, 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. Yet, the viability of 2019-nCoV detected on qRT-PCR in this patient remains to be proved by means of viral culture. Despite these concerns, all four patients who were seen in Munich have had mild cases and were hospitalized primarily for public health purposes. Since hospital capacities are limited — in particular, given the concurrent peak of the influenza season in the northern hemisphere — research is needed to determine whether such patients can be treated with appropriate guidance and oversight outside the hospital.
