Carbon82 Moderator January 3, 2020 Author Share January 3, 2020 The mysterious pneumonia might have spread out of mainland China liao. China confirms more cases of mystery viral pneumonia BEIJING: China on Friday (Jan 3) confirmed more cases of a mystery viral pneumonia that has sparked fears about a resurgence of SARS, the flu-like virus that killed hundreds of people more than a decade ago. The 44 cases, up from the initial 27 announced on Tuesday, include 11 "severe cases", health authorities in the central Chinese city of Wuhan said in a statement. "The vital signs of the other patients are generally stable," the statement said. The authorities are still in the process of identifying the cause of the infection, but "influenza, avian influenza, adenovirus infection and other common respiratory diseases have been excluded", the Wuhan health commission said on Friday, without mentioning SARS, which is caused by a coronavirus. News of the mystery pneumonia outbreak earlier this week led to speculation online that it might be linked to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, a highly contagious respiratory disease. Wuhan police on Wednesday that said they had punished eight people for "publishing or forwarding false information on the internet without verification". The health commission said all patients have received treatment in isolation and the city was tracking people who had come into close contact with the patients. Some of those being treated work in a seafood market in the city, and "no obvious evidence of human to human transmission" has been found so far, the commission said. Two women in Hong Kong were taken to public hospitals with fever and symptoms of respiratory infections or pneumonia symptoms, bringing the number of reported cases in the city since Dec 31 to five. The two women, aged 12 and 41, had been to Wuhan in the past two weeks, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority said. They are being treated in isolation and are in a stable condition. "A preliminary investigation shows that both patients had not been to a wet market in Wuhan before the onset of symptoms," the authority's chief infection control officer Raymond Lai said. Hong Kong's Hospital Authority has sent specimens to the Department of Health for testing. The World Health Organization (WHO) criticised China for under-reporting the number of SARS cases following the outbreak in 2003. SARS killed 349 people in mainland China and another 299 in Hong Kong that year. The virus, which infected more than 8,000 people around the world, is expected to have originated in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, according to WHO. China sacked its then health minister Zhang Wenkang for the poor handling of the crisis in 2003, several months after the first case was reported. WHO announced that China was free of SARS in May 2004. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator January 4, 2020 Author Share January 4, 2020 Wuhan pneumonia outbreak: Hong Kong raises response level as more cases reported HONG KONG (XINHUA) - The Hong Kong government on Saturday (Jan 4) activated the serious response level for infectious disease as more pneumonia cases were found in Wuhan, central China's Hubei province. Speaking on an RTHK radio programme, the Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan said two more people had fallen ill after returning from visits to Wuhan, raising the total number of cases in Hong Kong to seven. She said the government had decided to step up its monitoring of the situation after a meeting with experts on Friday, RTHK reported. The serious response level is the medium level in a three-tier response system - alert, serious and emergency - for an outbreak of Novel Infectious Disease of Public Health Significance. The government made the decision following the risk assessment of the cluster of cases of viral pneumonia with unknown cause in Wuhan reported by the National Health Commission. The tests on the exact pathogens and the search for the cause of the infections are underway. Common respiratory diseases such as influenza, bird flu and adenovirus infections have been ruled out. A spokesman for the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health said the current cluster of viral pneumonia cases in Wuhan can be regarded as a Novel Infectious Disease of Public Health Significance, which may cause human infection and has the potential to lead to international spread and public health emergency. Although no serious pneumonia cases related to those in Wuhan have been detected in Hong Kong so far, the government has strengthened prevention and control measures, including enhanced health surveillance measures at all boundary control points. A total of 44 viral pneumonia cases have been reported in Wuhan, health authorities said on Friday. All the patients have been put in quarantine, with 11 in serious condition and the others in stable condition as of 8am on Friday, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission said in a statement. So far, a total of 121 people who had close contact with the patients have been located and put under medical observation. Earlier, 27 patients who had symptoms including fever and difficult breathing were reported on Tuesday and were found to be related to a local seafood market. Authorities are further investigating the market's hygiene conditions. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
