The infection was first reported on Dec 24 in Wuhan, a central Chinese city with a population of over 11 million – leading to online speculation about a resurgence of the flu-like SARS virus that killed hundreds of people in 2002-2003.
By mid-day Saturday, Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority had reported a total of eight cases to the city’s health department. In mainland China, authorities reported that the major cluster of recent infections have centered around a wet market in Wuhan where wild animals were sold. “Preventive measures should be as stringent as possible,” Ho told Hong Kong’s public broadcaster RTHK, urging the mainland government to provide real-time updates.
