He said he had never stayed in Hubei or Zhejiang provinces in China within 14 days before the onset, and during that time he said that he had never carried foreign customers, so the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare detailed the infection route etc. I'm going to find out.

Feb 14, 2020 12:01New type pneumoniaIt was newly found that a man in his 70s was infected with the new coronavirus in Wakayama Prefecture. The symptoms are severe. The man had been temporarily hospitalized on the 13th at a hospital where a male doctor in his 50s who had been infected was working, but Governor Nisaka of Wakayama Prefecture said, It is unlikely that the infection has spread in hospitals since it was first started. "

The newly confirmed infection was a male farmer in his 70s living in Wakayama Prefecture.

At a Saiseikai Arita Hospital in Yuasa-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, a male surgeon in her 50s was found to be infected with the new coronavirus on the 13th, one colleague's male doctor and two men who have been seen have pneumonia. The prefecture was proceeding with the examination.

Patient at infected doctor's hospital tests positive for coronavirus
KYODO NEWS KYODO NEWS - 1 hour ago - 19:08 | All, Japan

WAKAYAMA, Japan - A man in his 70s who was treated at a hospital in western Japan where a doctor was recently confirmed to have been infected with a new coronavirus has also tested positive for it, local officials said Friday, adding that the two apparently never had any contact.

Wakayama Gov. Yoshinobu Nisaka said, however, he does not think infections are spreading inside the Saiseikai Arida Hospital in Yuasa, where the man, a farmer, was briefly hospitalized from last week.

A local government official warned that infections could be spreading outside of the medical facility as the man developed symptoms before he visited the hospital on Feb. 6.

So far, more than 250 people in Japan -- 218 of whom are passengers and crew from a cruise ship quarantined in Yokohama -- have been found to be infected with the pneumonia-causing virus...

Coronavirus: 'Stealth outbreak' fears as Japan struggles to find links to new cases nationwide


febr 14, 2020


TOKYO - A surgeon and a patient at the same Wakayama hospital, near Osaka, have been infected with the coronavirus, officials said on Friday (Feb 14), with three other new cases surfacing in Tokyo and Okinawa.

These developments come a day after Japan reported its first coronavirus-related death - a woman in her 80s in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo.

Japan's 35th case is a female taxi driver in her 60s in Okinawa, who is suspected to have ferried passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship when they disembarked in the prefectural capital of Naha on Feb 1.

The country's 36th and 37th cases are both linked to an infected Tokyo taxi driver, who is the son-in-law of the elderly woman who died. The man, who is in his 70s, had attended a new year's gathering on board a 'yakatabune' boat cruise last month.

An employee of the yakatabune, as well as an employee of a taxi driver's union, were confirmed to have been infected on Friday.

Domestic media cited experts as wondering if a "stealth outbreak" might already be underway in Japan.

Tohoku University Professor Hitoshi Oshitani told Jiji Press that efforts should be devoted to reducing the speed of contagion and treating the severely ill, as an epidemic is "likely occurring to some extent".

None of the new cases have cited any recent overseas travel, let alone to Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak. This has left officials perplexed as to how an emerging bunch of cases around Tokyo and in Wakayama - which borders Osaka - have occurred.
