niman Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Posted January 17, 2020 Alert and response operations Diseases Biorisk reduction Disease outbreak news Novel Coronavirus – Japan (ex-China) Disease outbreak news 16 January 2020 The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, today informed the World Health Organization (WHO) of a confirmed case of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in a person who travelled to Wuhan, China. This is the second confirmed case of 2019-nCoV that has been detected outside of China, following confirmation of a case in Thailand on 13 January. Considering global travel patterns, additional cases in other countries are likely. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. 2019-nCoV is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. Much remains to be understood about the new coronavirus, which was first identified in China earlier this month. Not enough is known about 2019-nCoV to draw definitive conclusions about how it is transmitted, clinical features of disease, or the extent to which it has spread. The source also remains unknown. WHO encourages all countries to continue preparedness activities. On 10 January, WHO published information on how to monitor for cases, treat patients, prevent onward transmission in health care facilities, maintain necessary supplies, and communicate with the public about 2019-nCoV. The information includes advice on how to maintain hand and respiratory hygiene, and safe food and market practices. WHO is developing and updating this information in consultation with networks of experts across the globe. WHO’s interim guidance and other information on coronaviruses can be found here WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions based on the information available. If travellers develop respiratory illness before, during or after travel, they should seek medical attention and share travel history with their health care provider. https://www.who.int/csr/don/16-january-2020-novel-coronavirus-japan-ex-china/en/

(Kyodo) In this Jan. 13, 2020, photo, travelers pass by a health checkpoint before entering immigration at the international airport in Beijing. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A man has tested positive in Japan's first confirmed case of infection with pneumonia caused by a new coronavirus from China, the Japanese health ministry said Thursday. 【Related】China announces 2nd death from new coronavirus 【Related】China: Possible that new virus could spread between humans 【Related】Thailand reports case of coronavirus from China 【Related】China reports 1st death from new type of coronavirus The man in his 30s, a resident of Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, returned to Japan on Jan. 6 after traveling to Wuhan, central China where an outbreak of pneumonia associated with the new virus began in December, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. A government source said the man is a Chinese national. The Japanese authorities said he possibly caught the disease from a carrier in the Chinese city and there are currently no suspected cases of secondary infection in Japan, including among his family members who live with him or doctors who have treated him. "The chances are slim that the infection will expand (in Japan)," a health ministry official said. The man first developed a fever on Jan. 3 while in Wuhan, and on his day of return visited a local doctor in Japan, mentioning his visit to the Chinese city. He visited another doctor last Friday since his fever did not abate and was hospitalized the same day. After concluding from an X-ray of his lungs on Tuesday that his condition with a fever of unknown origin could possibly deteriorate, the hospital notified the health ministry later that day. His infection was confirmed Wednesday by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases after two laboratory tests, where the first one showed negative. The man was discharged Wednesday and is now at home recuperating, with no fever but a slight cough, the ministry said. The man passed the quarantine test at the airport upon his return because he had taken some fever medicine. While the Japanese government declined to reveal the name of the airport, transport minister Kazuyoshi Akaba said his ministry will "do everything it can" to detect possible patients at airports and seaports. The pneumonia caused by the virus, which the World Health Organization recognized Tuesday as a novel coronavirus, has infected 41 people in Wuhan, with preliminary evidence suggesting the outbreak was associated with exposure in a seafood market as many among them worked or were customers there. The Chinese resident in Japan has told the Japanese health authorities that he did not visit the seafood market, making it likely that he had close contact with a carrier. The Chinese city's public health authorities have said they are investigating a case of an outbreak within a family over the possibility that the virus could be transmitted among humans. A Japanese health ministry official said the virus might be transmitted among humans if a person spends a long time with a carrier in proximity. One person among the 41 infected has died but the WHO said on its website Sunday that the patient had "other underlying health conditions." Thailand's Public Health Ministry reported Monday that a 61-year-old Chinese tourist from the city was confirmed to have the viral pneumonia. Coronaviruses usually cause common-cold symptoms, infecting the nose, sinuses or upper throat, and are spread through sneezing, coughing or direct contact. However, some types lead to more serious, sometimes deadly respiratory diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome or Middle East respiratory syndrome, commonly known as SARS and MERS, respectively. SARS emerged in China in 2003, spreading worldwide and killing 774 people, possibly originating in bats. MERS, which is thought to spread from camels, was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. These syndromes were ruled out as the cause of the outbreak in Wuhan. Japan's health ministry has called for people to wash their hands, gargle, and wear masks as a preventative measure as influenza and colds are common in this period. It has also said that nationals who have visited Wuhan should wear masks and get a medical checkup as soon as possible if they find themselves with a fever or cough, and tell medical institutions that they have returned from the city. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20200116/p2g/00m/0na/024000c

niman Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Posted January 17, 2020 Alert and response operations Diseases Biorisk reduction Disease outbreak news Novel Coronavirus – Japan (ex-China) Disease outbreak news 17 January 2020 On 15 January 2020, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan (MHLW) reported an imported case of laboratory-confirmed 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The case-patient is male, between the age of 30-39 years, living in Japan. The case-patient travelled to Wuhan, China in late December and developed fever on 3 January 2020 while staying in Wuhan. He did not visit the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market or any other live animal markets in Wuhan. He has indicated that he was in close contact with a person with pneumonia. On 6 January, he traveled back to Japan and tested negative for influenza when he visited a local clinic on the same day. On 10 January 2020, due to his continued symptoms of cough, sore throat and fever, he visited a local hospital and was found to have abnormal chest x-ray with infiltrates. He was admitted to the hospital on the same day and had remained febrile until 14 January. On 14 January, his attending doctor notified the case to a local public health authority under the surveillance system for “Unidentified Serious Infectious Illness”. Samples were collected and sent to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID), and at NIID, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and sequencing was performed twice, which identified very small amount of 2019-nCoV RNA on 15 January 2020. On 15 January, the case-patient was afebrile and was discharged from hospital. Currently, he is staying at home in a stable condition. Public health response Contact tracing and other epidemiological investigations are underway by the local health authorities in Japan; The Japanese Government has scaled up a whole-of-government coordination mechanism on the 16 January; The MHLW has strengthened surveillance for undiagnosed severe acute respiratory illnesses since the report of undiagnosed pneumonia in Wuhan, China; From 6 January, MHLW requested local health governments to be aware of the respiratory illnesses in Wuhan by using the existing surveillance system for serious infectious illness with unknown etiology; NIID is supporting local authorities on epidemiologic investigations including contact tracing; Quarantine and screening measures have been enhanced for travelers from Wuhan city at the point of entries since 7 January; NIID established an in-house PCR assay for nCoV on 16 January; Revision of the risk assessment by NIID is being conducted, including case definition of close contacts; The public risk communication has been enhanced; A hotline has been established among the different ministries in the government; The MHLW is working closely with WHO and other related Member States to foster mutual investigations and information sharing. WHO risk assessment This was the second exported case of novel coronavirus from Wuhan city, China. Since the initial report of cases in Wuhan city on 31 December 2019, and as of 12 January 2020, 41 laboratory-confirmed cases of nCoV infection, including 2 deaths in cases with underlying medical conditions have been reported to WHO. Two cases have been reported from Thailand. The source of the outbreak is still under investigation in Wuhan. Preliminary investigations have identified environmental samples positive for nCoV in Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan City, however some laboratory-confirmed patients did not report visiting this market. To date, there is no reported infection among healthcare workers in China, Thailand or Japan. No additional cases have been reported since 3 January in China. Additional investigations are needed to determine how the patients were infected, whether human-to-human transmission has been observed, mode(s) of transmission, the clinical spectrum of disease, and the extent of infection, including presence of subclinical cases that are undetected with current surveillance. It is critical to review all available information to fully understand the extent of transmissibility between people and likelihood of zoonotic spillover. WHO advice Although the source of the novel coronavirus causing this cluster of pneumonia and the mode(s) of transmission are unknown, it would be prudent to remind populations and health workers of the basic principles to reduce the general risk of transmission of acute respiratory infections: Avoiding close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections; Frequent hand-washing, especially after direct contact with ill people or their environment; Avoiding unprotected contact with farm or wild animals; People with symptoms of acute respiratory infection should practice cough etiquette (maintain distance, cover coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues or clothing, and wash hands); Within healthcare facilities, enhance standard infection prevention and control practices in hospitals, especially in emergency departments; WHO does not recommend any specific health measures for travelers. In case of symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness either during or after travel, the travelers are encouraged to seek medical attention and share their travel history with their health care provider. Travel guidance has been updated. Health authorities should work with travel, transport and tourism sectors to provide travellers with information to reduce the general risk of acute respiratory infections via travel health clinics, travel agencies, conveyance operators and at points of entry. WHO has provided interim guidance for novel coronaviruses WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on Japan based on the information currently available on this event.

niman Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Posted January 17, 2020 A fish market in Wuhan, China, from where people have been confirmed to have been infected with a new coronavirus. | CNS / VIA KYODO NATIONAL / SCIENCE & HEALTH Japan confirms first case of coronavirus that has infected dozens in China KYODO, STAFF REPORT A Chinese national in his 30s who lives in Kanagawa Prefecture tested positive for the virus, the ministry said. He returned from Wuhan on Jan. 6 and was hospitalized on Jan. 10, but has already recovered and was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. A ministry official said there are no other confirmed cases in Japan. The pneumonia-like virus has infected dozens of people in Wuhan, with preliminary evidence suggesting the outbreak was associated with exposure at a seafood market. The man treated in Japan had not visited the Wuhan seafood market, according to the health ministry. It is possible that he came in close contact with a person infected with the virus while in the city, the ministry said. Japanese authorities said he possibly caught the disease from a carrier in the Chinese city, and there are currently no suspected cases of secondary infection in Japan, including among his family members who live with him or doctors who have treated him. “The chances are slim that the infection will spread (in Japan),” a health ministry official said. Coronaviruses usually cause common-cold symptoms, infecting the nose, sinuses or upper throat, and are spread through sneezing, coughing or direct contact. However, some types lead to more serious, sometimes deadly respiratory diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome or Middle East respiratory syndrome. SARS killed 349 people in mainland China and 299 in Hong Kong in 2002 and 2003. The man developed a fever on Jan. 3 while in Wuhan. He is now at home recuperating, the ministry said. His fever is gone but he has a slight cough. The man passed the quarantine test at the airport upon his return because he had taken some medicine. While the Japanese government declined to reveal which airport the man arrived at, transport minister Kazuyoshi Akaba said his ministry will “do everything it can” to detect possible patients at airports and seaports. His infection was confirmed Wednesday through a laboratory test by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, leading the government to set up an information-gathering task force at the crisis management center under the Prime Minister’s Office that day. The health ministry issued a message to the public emphasizing hand-washing and other preventive measures similar to those taken against the common cold or influenza. It also called on those who have visited Wuhan and have experienced fever and coughing to wear masks and visit medical institutions promptly. It advised them to report that they have been to Wuhan when seeing a doctor. The pneumonia caused by the virus, which the World Health Organization recognized Tuesday as a novel coronavirus, has infected 41 people in Wuhan, with preliminary evidence suggesting the outbreak was associated with exposure at a seafood market, as many of them worked or were customers there. The infected resident in Japan has told health authorities that he did not visit the seafood market, making it likely that he had close contact with a carrier elsewhere. The Chinese city’s public health authorities have said they are investigating a case of an outbreak within one family over the possibility that the virus could be transmitted human to human. A Japanese health ministry official said the virus might be transmitted among humans if a person spends a long time in proximity to a carrier. Satoshi Kutsuna, an expert at the Disease Control and Prevention Center under the National Center for Global Health and Medicine, said in a web article that people don’t need to be excessively worried about the virus. Although the infection case between the couple suggests the possibility of human-to-human transmission, examinations on nearly 1,000 people who came in contact with the infected patients have shown they were not infected. This indicates that “it’s unlikely that it will spread widely around the globe,” Kutsuna wrote. Still, some Japanese travelers to China voiced concerns. “I thought the virus would come to Japan but it was sooner than I expected,” said Yoshihiro Miki, a 40-year-old from Saitama Prefecture, who was at Narita Airport and headed to Shanghai for several days. “A person died, so I’m worried. I’ll stay away from crowded places,”said a 30-year-old man from Tokyo’s Kita Ward who was headed to a destination near Wuhan. One person among the 41 infected has died but WHO said on its website Sunday that the patient had “other underlying health conditions.” Thailand’s Public Health Ministry reported Monday that a 61-year-old Chinese tourist from Wuhan was confirmed to have the viral pneumonia. SARS was identified in 2003, spreading worldwide and killing 774 people. It may have originated in bats. MERS, which is thought to have originated from camels, was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Those syndromes were ruled out as the cause of the outbreak in Wuhan. The Japanese health ministry has also said that those who have visited Wuhan should wear masks and get a medical checkup as soon as possible if they find themselves with a fever or cough. They should also inform medical institutions that they have returned from the city. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/01/16/national/science-health/japan-first-coronavirus-case/#.XiHN7MhKjIW
