Macau confirms first case of new coronavirus pneumonia. Authorities said that the patient was a 52-year-old Wuhan woman who entered Macau through the gates on Sunday. She once took the "Fortune Bus" to the Landmark, met with two friends, and stayed in the hotel. Most of the time she stayed in the hotel casino. Authorities have located two friends of the patient, both of whom are being quarantined.

The head of the Macau Health Bureau, Li Zhanrun, said that the time when patients take the "Fortune Bus" will be announced. If other people have taken the "Fortune Bus" at the same time, they can go to the hospital for examination. He said that it should be possible to find out which table the patient has spent the longest time in the casino, and the staff will be checked.

As for whether there will be a community outbreak in Macau, Li Zhanrun said that this is an imported case. It is clinically estimated that the symptoms of the patient are in the initial stage and the infection is not very high. At present, it is most important to pay attention to whether the two friends of the patient are infected.
