Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Further to my earlier post about the incubation period for Covid 19 being longer than first thought. More information has been forthcoming.
Efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus have been dealt a blow, with new data suggesting the incubation period could be much longer than presumed.
A 70-year-old man in China's Hubei Province was infected with coronavirus but did not show symptoms until 27 days later, the local government said on Saturday, meaning the virus' incubation period could be much longer than the presumed 14 days.
The development could complicate efforts to deal with the virus which has killed over 2,300 people in China and is now spreading in South Korea.
The man, only identified by his family name, Jiang, drove his car back on January 24 to Shennongjia, in northwestern Hubei, from eastern Ezhou, where he had close contact with his sister, who had been infected, according to the government website of Hubei, the virus epicentre.
