At the moment, the researchers can't determine how the virus is transmitted from person to person
Last week we told you about a mysterious virus in China, which in its symptoms similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), better known as SARS. At the moment, the researchers determined that the new — it is a type of coronavirus, which also belong to SARS and MERS. Who was deeply concerned about a new outbreak in Wuhan and was not in vain — the experts reported two cases outside of the country — in Thailand and Japan. However, how exactly the virus spreads remains unknown.
According to the publication , the Ministry of health of Japan reported that the patient was hospitalized on 10 January, four days after returning from Wuhan (China) in Japan. The patient did not complain of a fading fever. The results of the tests confirmed that he was infected with a new one . Recall that the new coronavirus has claimed the life of one person, but in Wuhan infected 41 people. The health Ministry of Japan intends to cooperate with the world health organization, as well as to continue research.
Vaccine for SARS does not exist today.
In the past outbreaks of SARS and MERS has claimed the lives of 349 people in China and 299 people in Hong Kong. Today, the government of Wuhan said that the center is a seafood market, which was closed on 1 January. However, the Japanese doctors claim that the patient did not visit the market, but may have been in contact with the infected while you were in China.
Spread the virus across the planet?
The Representative of the Ministry of health Agee Kinoshita told reporters that the risk of disease spread is considered low, while thoroughly checked everyone who was in close contact with him. Moreover, out of critical condition and he is recovering at home. Local media reported that the patient is a 30-year-old Chinese citizen, who resides in Kanagawa, southwest of Tokyo.
In Hong Kong, several dozen people were hospitalized with similar symptoms, but a new virus has not been confirmed.
The Japanese Ministry of health encourages people who have symptoms such as a cough, a fever, wear a protective mask and "to quickly visit a medical facility." It is not yet clear whether this virus is transmitted from person to person, however, there is a probability that the virus has already spread in the family. As for the case of Thailand, the patient is in stable condition. She also alleges that they had not visited the seafood market in Wuhan. However, who experts believe may partially be transmitted from person to person, especially among families who are in close contact with each other.
Thus, you should not fear the outbreak of a new virus. However, if in the near future you are going to travel to China, the sensible thing would be to refuse from the visit to Wuhan. Otherwise, it is hoped that in the near future, scientists can develop a vaccine from a dangerous family of coronaviruses.
