The new variant of the corona virus can lead to pneumonia and at least it has in China demanded a life. Dozens of people in the metropolis of Wuhan became ill as a result. The World Health Organization (WHO) had already warned that the virus could spread worldwide.
The Japanese was in Wuhan last month and probably got the virus there. He returned to Japan on January 6 and was hospitalized on January 10, reports The Japan Times. As far as is known, no other Japanese has the virus. Earlier this week the virus did show up in Thailand.
Animal market
There is still much unclear about the virus. The early symptoms correspond to the common cold. The people who contracted the virus earlier worked in a market in Wuhan where fish, birds and other animals were sold. Since then, the market is closed and research is being done.
